One-of-a-Kind Riviera Home Backing to El Retiro Park!

Welcome to this beautifully remodeled and expanded 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence in the heart of the Riviera, offering a rare combination of charm, comfort, and modern convenience. Nestled on a 7,281 sq. ft. all-usable lot, this tri-level home blends timeless details with thoughtful updates and a park-adjacent location that’s hard to beat.

On the entry level, the heart of the home is the remodeled kitchen, thoughtfully designed with Corian countertops, a breakfast bar for casual dining, custom oak cabinetry with built-ins, and durable tile flooring. A full suite of stainless steel appliances makes it a chef’s delight, while the sunny bay window floods the space with natural light and garden views. The adjacent living and dining rooms are highlighted by oak floors, a wood-burning fireplace, custom bookcase, and French doors that open to a veranda with serene park views.

A few steps up lead to the spacious primary suite, complete with two walk-in closets and its own full bath. An additional bedroom or office and a full hallway bath complete this level, with both rooms opening onto the veranda.

The ground floor offers flexible living with three more bedrooms, two baths, and a family room with kitchenette—ideal for guest quarters or in-law living. French doors open to a tiled patio and a terraced backyard that’s a true oasis: shaded by mature trees and enhanced with paver patios, a clover lawn, fire pit, and an impressive collection of fruit trees (avocado, lime, orange, loquat, guava, grapefruit, passion fruit, and lemon), plus a vibrant bougainvillea and bottlebrush tree. Best of all, a private gate leads directly to El Retiro Park, complete with tennis courts, basketball, playground, and library.
