Perched atop the crest of Almaden Drive, this delightful 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home boasts an expansive back deck with sweeping south-facing views overlooking a private saline swimming pool. The freshly landscaped yard welcomes you to the front door, where you step into a bright and inviting living room filled with natural light. The spacious eat-in kitchen, recently upgraded with brand-new stainless steel appliances, opens directly onto the back patio, offering a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living. The thoughtfully designed layout ensures privacy, with the two bedrooms positioned on opposite sides of the home. The primary suite boasts an en-suite bathroom and direct access to the back patio, while a charming, wood-paneled hall bathroom serves the second bedroom. Just a few steps down from the deck, the fully fenced pool area is your own private oasis, complete with citrus trees and ample space for lounge chairs – ideal for soaking up the summer sun or hosting gatherings with friends. A detached 2-car garage is conveniently situated between the home and the pool. Located just a short stroll from the vibrant attractions along York Boulevard, this home offers the best of both worlds: proximity to the bustling heart of Highland Park and a peaceful, private retreat to escape the hustle and bustle. Rarely does a Highland Park gem with so much to offer come to market.
