About this home

Set high on a hill, 5840 Trojan Ave makes even the drive home scenic. Depending on your route, you’ll catch glimpses of the ocean and downtown skyline to the west or take in mountain views to the east. A mahogany Dutch door welcomes you inside, where beautifully restored original hardwood floors lend warmth to a two bedroom, one bath easy flowing layout. A brand new kitchen and newly remodeled bathroom complement the home’s original character. Fresh paint inside and out adds to the refresh, and central heating and air conditioning keep the home comfortable year round. Out back, take in sweeping views from the patio over morning coffee or as the sun sets. The expansive backyard offers plenty of room to garden, entertain, or create an outdoor space of your own. The home also has a one-car garage and a newer roof, and termite repairs are complete.
