Tucked inside one of Monterey Hills' most coveted communities, 3961 Via Marisol #112 seamlessly blends the ease and comfort of condo living with the magic of an enchanting private garden retreat--a rare indoor/outdoor living opportunity in the heart of Northeast LA! Past the building's secure entrance, enter your unit and find a well-appointed home that has been updated with modern convenience in mind. The spacious open floor plan features a kitchen updated with newer stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, farmhouse sink, garbage disposal, and flooring, as well as a dining area and an enormous walk-in closet that can be used as a small office space (the current owners lovingly called it the "cloffice"). But this unit also has a secret that sets it apart from the rest: off of the living room, find a massive private patio--almost 500 square feet!--surrounded by towering trees and lush greenery that creates a sense of privacy and calm. Enjoy morning coffee gazing out on mature heirloom rose bushes cultivated from Huntington Gardens varieties, or enjoy a good book while lounging in the comfy and stylish cabana daybed. The home also features two generously sized bedrooms with ample closet space, two bathrooms (including an ensuite) and additional updates including a newer high-efficiency HVAC system and Nest thermostat, in-unit washer/dryer, and a roomy storage shed for larger items. The building is among the most desirable in Monterey Hills, with comparatively low HOA dues that include earthquake and fire insurance, water, trash, sewer, responsive management with on-site caretaker, an exercise room, and a sparkling pool and spa. Two gated tandem parking spaces round out this exceptional opportunity--a secret garden sanctuary that proves homeownership in Los Angeles can be as attainable as it is extraordinary.
