Wake up to panoramic canyon views, step onto your private balcony with a coffee in hand, and feel the energy of Hillcrest just beyond your quiet, tree-lined street. This home is more than a place to live—it’s an escape woven into the heart of the city. Blending classic Spanish Craftsman charm with a modern, open flow, this home was completely rebuilt and expanded in 2015 with thoughtful design at every turn. Inside, natural light pours through oversized windows, high ceilings create an effortless sense of space, and the layout invites movement—whether it’s a quiet morning to yourself or a night spent hosting friends. Cozy up in front of the fireplace on a cold winter evening. The living room leads to a sunken family room, where an entire wall of sliding glass doors disappears, blurring the line between indoors and out. Step onto the deck, sink into the hot tub, and take in the canyon backdrop—this is everyday living at its best. Upstairs, the primary suite is its own sanctuary, with a private balcony that stretches the full width of the home. Oversized sliding doors invite the breeze in, while the en-suite bath—complete with a soaking tub and walk-in shower—offers the perfect reset at the start or end of the day. A first-floor bedroom and full bath add flexibility, whether for guests, a home office, or extra living space. And then, there’s the rooftop. The pinnacle of this home’s connection to its surroundings, offering unobstructed city and canyon views in every direction. Whether it’s a quiet morning under the sun or an evening spent toasting with friends, this is where you’ll want to be. A long driveway leads to a one-car garage with bonus storage, while Hillcrest’s best restaurants, cafés, and boutiques are just steps away—with Mission Hills right around the corner. It’s modern living, historic charm, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow—all wrapped into a home that feels like a retreat, every single day.
