Tucked away on one of Highland Park's most coveted streets, this 4-bed, 4-bath sanctuary feels worlds away from the city - without actually being far from any of it. At the heart of the home is a sun-drenched downstairs bonus room - expansive, light-filled, and opening directly onto a sprawling outdoor patio where treetop views, total quiet, and all-day sunlight make it feel less like a backyard and more like a private escape. This is the space you'll live in: morning coffee with nothing but trees and sky, evenings on the redwood deck with timer-controlled lighting setting the mood, and a private putting green that makes the weekend feel earned. Multiple elevated patio decks extend the living space further, giving you serious outdoor square footage with endless possibilities - think spa, sauna, outdoor kitchen, or whatever your vision calls for. Inside, the chef's kitchen features Savoy Quartz countertops, Milton cabinets, rustic oak open shelving, Peaha brass and black edge pulls, a custom hood box, and high-end Forno appliances, all complemented by a wet bar that makes entertaining effortless. The bathrooms are equally considered, with imported Italian Makoto tile floors and elevated fixtures throughout. White oak hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and custom fixtures run throughout the rest of the home. The home was extensively updated with a shingle roof, 5-ton central HVAC with smart thermostat, a 2-ton LG mini-split in the rec room, Milgard dual-pane vinyl windows, a PRL anodized aluminum sliding door to the redwood deck, modern copper plumbing and ABS drains, a 9.5 GPM tankless water heater, and a 240v EV charger hookup in the garage. Outside, a pine wood panel fencing, drought-tolerant artificial turf, and an automated drip system keep the landscaping beautiful and low-maintenance. The location matches the energy: walkable to Highland Park's best restaurants, coffee shops, wine bars, and weekend markets, with easy 110 freeway access to the rest of the city. Hillside homes with this level of finish - and this kind of quiet - don't come around often in NELA.
