Set into the hillside, just steps from York & Fig, this Highland Park find is a love letter to indoor-outdoor living. Golden-hour views spill across a private hillside perch, tucked away from prying eyes, where the land opens onto a flat, sprawling pad made for long afternoons: a new saltwater pool, kept crystal and gentle on the skin by a Hayward salt chlorine generator and UV/Ozone sanitizer that dramatically cuts the need for chlorine, for cooling off, a spot for dining al fresco, and open lawn for gardening, play, or simply catching your breath. Fruit trees dot the property, offering oranges, lemons and mandarins. Fully enclosed and gated, it’s your own quiet compound, shielded from the neighbors’ view, complete with room to park, room to shoot hoops, and room to grow things. Inside, the heart of the home holds a surprise: a long-ago garage conversion that’s become the soul of the house, a light-filled living area with its own bath and laundry hookups, woven seamlessly into the home’s footprint and taped square footage, with comfort quietly handled by a 2024 AC replacement and a whole-house water softening system, so the everyday runs as smoothly as the setting suggests. Not an afterthought, but where life actually happens. A fantastic pocket of Highland Park where the setting does half the talking.
