Live the sought-after, close-to-everything lifestyle in this charming University Heights home. You will be perfectly located just a block from Hillcrest via the Vermont Street Bridge leading directly to The HUB, with a Trader Joe’s, popular restaurants, and everyday conveniences along University Avenue. Tucked away on a quiet street near the end of a private cul-de-sac, the property offers beautiful canyon views, a private yard, and a peaceful home that feels personal yet connected. This sun-filled Craftsman-style residence features a desirable southern exposure, hardwood floors, and a decorative fireplace. The lower level is thoughtfully configured with flexible living options, including a fully separate 1-bed/1-bath guest unit with a full kitchen and its own patio currently being used as a revenue-generating Airbnb rental, plus an additional private 1-bed/1-bath guest suite—ideal for extended family, a home office, or home gym. Modern upgrades add both convenience and efficiency, including leased solar at just $75/month, an EV charger, and a new water heater. This is more than a home—it’s a smart investment with lifestyle perks built in. Whether you’re a savvy house hacker looking to live in one unit and offset your mortgage, or a multi-generational household seeking space and privacy, this University Heights property truly checks every box.
