Tucked into a quiet, gated hillside community in El Sereno (90032), this bright, thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom delivers a rare LA combination: real space, a private two-car garage included at no extra cost, gated pool amenities, and an Eastside address minutes from Cal State LA, USC Health Sciences, and the legendary San Gabriel Valley food scene. The refrigerator, gas range, washer, and dryer all come with it — and if you'd rather skip the moving truck, the curated furniture in the photos can stay for just $99/month, saving you thousands.

Location & Commute — A Commuter's Dream
Excellent freeway access — about a minute to the I-10, with very quick connections to the I-710 and I-5, plus Downtown LA roughly 10 minutes out. Easy commuting in any direction.
Walkable to Cal State LA — minutes from campus and the Cal State LA Transit Center, with the Metro J Line (Silver) express bus straight into Downtown and Metrolink to Union Station.
Close to it all — USC Health Sciences Campus, Alhambra, Monterey Park, Highland Park, South Pasadena, and Old Town Pasadena are all within easy reach.
626 food paradise — right on the edge of Alhambra and the San Gabriel Valley (the legendary Asia dining in the country), plus El Sereno's own taquerías, panaderías, and coffee spots.

The Home
Bright, light-filled interior — hardwood flooring throughout, exceptional natural light, and a relaxed modern-bohemian feel.
Flexible 2-bedroom layout — ideal for a guest room, creative studio, or work-from-home office.
Fully renovated, spa-like bathroom — built around a top-of-the-line TOTO S7A Washlet smart bidet with heated seat and warm-water cleansing.
In-unit washer & dryer — full-size, no shared laundry or laundromat runs.
Modern kitchen — sleek stainless steel appliances with a gas range and full-size refrigerator, both included.
Keyless smart entry and generous walk-in closets with custom built-in organization.
The leafy potted plants in the photos can stay if you love them, or be removed on request.
