Retire to your own private retreat, set back away and high above the street, just out of reach from the hustle & bustle, yet still within striking distance of the vibrant heart of Highland Park. EL RETIRO is a fully reimagined and newly expanded Modern California Ranch, resting upon a verdant knoll, and blending beautifully and seamlessly into the hillside. Original exposed wooden beams and vintage lattice-style farmhouse front door deliver so much charm & character, while upgraded systems, custom kitchen, and all new bathrooms, featuring terrazzo-style porcelain floors, make everyday living a delight. With big mountain & treetop views facing due west, the real showstopper here is the framed cinematic sunset that pours in through the large picture window into the living room every evening. This peaceful refuge captures that rare and coveted alchemy--an elevated and quiet escape that sits only a couple of blocks away from the hottest new stretch of York Blvd, home of acclaimed and popular: Queen's Raw Bar & Grill, Fondry, Potluck Local, Bagel + Slice, Skaf's on York, and femme favorite, Vinovore. The picturesque and idyllic Occidental College campus is also just down the street. Make this home yours!
