Tucked away on a tree-lined street in coveted South Mission Hills, this special home blends timeless charm with modern upgrades for the perfect mix of tranquility and convenience. The manicured front yard—designed by the host of KPBS’s A Growing Passion and featuring a striking sculpture by local artist Michael Leaf—sets the tone with vibrant greenery and the dance of hummingbirds. Out back, majestic hawks glide over the canyon. Inside, a dramatic entrance opens to a sunlit, open-concept living space, ideal for entertaining. Every window frames lush greenery, offering a daily connection to nature. A deck off the living room creates an effortless indoor-outdoor flow, while the remodeled chef’s kitchen features a large island, gas cooking, and premium stainless appliances. The home offers four bedrooms and two full baths, including a downstairs primary suite with spa-like bath, walk-in shower, and clawfoot tub. One bedroom serves as a stylish office with a Murphy bed and built-ins. Original gumwood accents add charm, while all-new systems—including HVAC, on-demand hot water, and energy-efficient upgrades—provide peace of mind. A detached studio with private entrance and rental history offers flexible space or income potential. Multiple outdoor areas invite relaxation, from the flagstone patio to the vegetable garden. A private retreat, just moments from the best of Mission Hills.
