Toward the rear of the home, a versatile den offers the ideal space for a home office or creative studio.

And for a special touch, enjoy your very own avocado tree, ripening just in time for harvest between October and December—great for homemade guacamole or a healthy breakfast. This ideally located home in Montecito Heights, combines urban accessibility with peaceful hillside living—just minutes from Highland Park, South Pasadena, and Downtown LA. With sweeping views, a welcoming community, and thoughtful updates, this home is a standout in one of Los Angeles’ most desirable neighborhoods.
