About 3661 Gillig Avenue
Perched atop a peaceful cul-de-sac in Montecito Heights, this beautifully renovated California bungalow blends classic character with thoughtful modern upgrades. Originally updated in 2014 and now expanded with a brand-new master suite addition, this home offers serene hillside living just minutes from the heart of the city. Step inside to find vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, a warm and inviting kitchen with a reclaimed wood island countertop, and stylish touches throughout. The main house now features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and a versatile loft area that can function as a 4th bedroom or creative space. A standout feature is the detached back house with French doors opening to the backyard, perfect for use as a guest suite, home office, art studio, or family entertainment room. Set on an expansive lot with multiple outdoor living spaces, visualize you enjoying afternoon tea, or al fresco dining beneath Edison string lights, or simply relaxing in a hammock. The yard is dotted with mature fruit trees--including pomegranate, papaya, kumquat, lime, lemon, tangerine, and apple--and once had herbs like rosemary, oregano, and lavender. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the quick access to the Arroyo Seco bike path and Ernest E. Debs Park, perfect for weekend adventures or daily strolls. Ideally located just minutes from Downtown LA, Highland Park, and South Pasadena, with easy access to major freeways, this home offers the perfect balance of quiet retreat and urban convenience.
