One of the most beloved, storied streets in La Crescenta, prestigious Pickens Canyon Road, attracted the renowned visionary developer Webster Wiley Jr., whose firm built this Classic Ranch on almost a half-acre flat pad in the 1950s. 3 bedrooms & 2 full baths plus powder room, living room, dining room, office, & family room are supplemented by the versatile pool house, doubling as guest quarters, multi-generation abode, or work-at-home. The oversize garage can host workshop, hobbies, gym, you name it. Breezy pool house with vaulted ceiling overlooks the Johnston pool and idyllic back yard, blanketed in grass and edged with mature trees including lemon, orange, and loquat. The current owners, only the 3rd in 70 years, preserved the original character while upgrading finishes and systems over the years, such as the cherished v-groove kitchen cabinets with heritage hardware, original pine paneled family room with diamond-lattice windows, solid oak floors, and fireplaces with LA Pressed Brick accents. These classic elements blend seamlessly with modernized windows, baths, & lighting, and upgraded plumbing, electrical, HVAC, & roofs. With room for expansion, this one was worth the wait.
