A bungalow above it all. High atop coveted University Hills, with expansive views of the San Gabriel Mountains, a jewel-toned, diamond-paned door welcomes you to this 1920s Craftsman home full of surprises. Upon entering, your eye will be immediately drawn to the lush greenery and mountain vistas that create a treehouse vibe within the city. The living room features hardwood floors and flows seamlessly into the open kitchen, where you'll find sage cabinets, granite countertops, a breakfast bar and a dining area with sliding doors that opens to an upper deck, perfect for sunset gatherings, coffee, or quiet moments of retreat. The main floor is rounded out by a bedroom with the same enchanting view and a full bath. Down the stairs, past built-in bookcases to display all your collections, you'll find two additional bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath and the kind of cozy nest that encourages lazy mornings. The real revelation of this hilltop home is that you don't have to trade your views for outdoor living. 5063 O Sullivan has it all, with a nearly 5,000-square-foot lot that gracefully cascades down the hill with three distinct terraced areas. Whether it's dining, lounging, outdoor games or the ultimate container garden, there's room for it all. And then there is the cutest treasure of all, a picture-perfect creative space for working from home, entrepreneurial ventures, or escapes with your favorite book. Seconds from the Cal State L.A. campus, University Hills is within the vibrant enclave of El Sereno, the kind of close-knit, culture-rich community where you know your neighbors yet still have Downtown LA, Alhambra, South Pasadena, Highland Park and the San Gabriel Valley within reach.
