Set against the timeless backdrop of the San Gabriel Mountains, this extraordinary 1952 Mid-Century Traditional is a rare find in La Crescenta, with exceptionally rated schools from elementary through high school. Extensively remodeled in 2018 and within walking distance to award-winning Valley View Elementary, this pristine home seamlessly blends warmth, vintage charm, and modern sophistication. Enveloped by blooming California natives and fragrant herbs, the expansive grassy front yard is shaded by the canopy of an ash tree, the perfect spot for a swing and endless summer evenings. Inside, you will find a welcoming living room bathed in natural light with vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, built-ins and a picturesque fireplace. The open floor plan features an airy dining area, chef’s kitchen and three spacious bedrooms. Each bedroom is located within its own wing of the home, including a primary suite with a sizable closet and an en-suite bathroom, a bright front bedroom and hall bathroom, and a third bedroom with a powder room off the kitchen. An inviting den/family room with a grand floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace opens up to your own private and tranquil backyard sanctuary. A generously sized flat yard and multiple areas for al fresco dining, relaxing, and taking in the mountain views makes this the perfect space for celebrations and spending time with loved ones. Additional upgrades include a new roof, newer HVAC, electrical and plumbing. A large custom-built shed, storage cabinet and laundry room offer abundant storage space for all of your needs. Local favorites Tickle Tree Cafe, Reborn Coffee, and Sidebloom are just moments away, as are the La Canada Flintridge Farmer’s Market, Montrose Harvest Market and all the eateries and shops that downtown Montrose is known for. Steps from multiple parks including Two Strike, Dunsmore, hiking favorite Deukmejian Wilderness Park, and a less than 10-min drive to Descanso Gardens, this abode is a nature lover’s dream and is ready for its next doting guardians to enjoy it for years to come.
