In the hills of Glassell Park, this beautifully updated character bungalow is sited on an expansive hillside lot with great views and vibe. On the market for the first time in 40 years, this 2BR/1BA home is fully gated from the street and has been updated inside and out offering a great move-in ready opportunity in this coveted east side neighborhood. Graceful acacia and olive trees behind a field wire fence greet you as you enter the property; drought tolerant landscaping brimming with vibrant autumn sage and honeysuckle lead to a welcoming peach-hued front porch. The light and bright living room with original hardwood floors and charming bay window feels open and spacious. The kitchen features updated appliances, marble and butcher block countertops, and designer fixtures. A combination of open shelving and deep storage cabinets complete the functional design. Two large bedrooms overlook the verdant backyard. A full bath with tub completes the interior layout. The spacious backyard is a gardener's paradise with mature landscaping and lush plantings. An expansive back deck provides additional outdoor dining and entertaining options for friends and family. Down a wide gravel path, the large 2-car detached garage has been fully rebuilt and offers additional storage and work/studio space. Close to all the local neighborhood hot spots, including Bub and Grandma's, Habitat, Solarc Brewing, LA Homefarm, and more. A truly special and cherished generational home that is not to be missed.
