5305 Borland Road

Perched at the base of University Hills by Cal State LA, 5305 Borland Rd features a reimagined floor plan with a newly constructed 2 story addition at the rear of the home. It now offers 4-bedrooms, 3-bathrooms, and a fully fenced backyard with built-in BBQ area in one of El Sereno's most coveted hillside enclaves. Step inside to a sun-drenched living room anchored by custom built-in shelves and a fireplace that sets a warm, modern tone throughout. The chef's kitchen serves as a focal point, appointed with stunning marble countertops, a statement hood, and an expansive 9-foot center island. Warm earthy wood tones and stainless steel appliances make the space feel grounded and sophisticated. Adjacent to the kitchen, a bedroom with oversized windows allows reams of light to filter through-perfect for an office or flex space. Down the hall, a "moody" guest bath with green roman clay walls adds a designer touch. The rear addition encompasses a generous primary suite with a spa-like ensuite bath featuring a rainfall shower boasting 14' ceilings beneath a large skylight that bathes the space in natural light. Micro cement walls, a floating vanity and sleek soaking tub make this ensuite feel like a true sanctuary. A walk-in closet and a covered balcony with views overlooking the cityscape complete the primary bedroom. Downstairs, the extension includes two additional bedrooms and a second living room with a built-in bar and views of the outdoors. Tri-fold doors disappear to connect the indoors to the backyard. A laundry area, hallway bath and direct access to the garage finish the space. Outside, lush greenery frames the backyard creating privacy and a sense of calm. An attached two car garage with direct access to the home and driveway parking accommodate multiple cars. Other features include a new roof, plumbing, electrical, windows, central HVAC, interior fire sprinklers and more. Tranquil, rolling hills offer a peaceful retreat just minutes from DTLA, Cal State LA, and Ascot Hills Park. Enjoy local favs like Evil Cooks, Lil' East Coffee, and Holy Grounds, and easy freeway access. Must see!
