Description
Located in a coveted pocket of La Crescenta just east of Briggs and in close proximity to Mountain Avenue Elementary School, this charming 1930 farmhouse has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully expanded through the years. The graceful, quiet elegance is readily apparent at first sight. Built for entertaining, the house contains large formal rooms including a living room with stately fireplace, light-filled dining room with original corner cabinets, and a sun room that has direct access to the side garden and backyard. The first floor also features a primary suite with a dressing room, second closet, large bathroom with a bathtub and separate shower, and a French door to the backyard. Additionally, the first floor has an efficient kitchen with a breakfast nook and cheery garden window overlooking the front yard, a cozy family room with French doors to the pool, and a half-bath that also has direct access to the pool deck. The second floor is divided into two sides each with two bedrooms and one bathroom. The house is complete with a lower-level bonus space with outside access that the present owner uses as a craft room, and could potentially become a fabulous guest studio. The gardens that surround the house provide lovely views from nearly every window, and the outstanding indoor-outdoor relationship is just begging to host a party; you can almost hear children splashing around in the pool and a live band on the expansive patio that could easily accommodate 100 guests. This cherished home has been well-loved by the same owners for the last 24 years and is waiting for its next chapter.
