Every detail of this home has been meticulously updated to enhance its timeless charm while incorporating modern functionality. The open-concept living space is bathed in natural light, featuring wide-plank wood-like floors, elevated entryways, and custom millwork that exude warmth and sophistication. The stunning living room with fireplace opens to the formal dining room with sliding doors to a deck for al fresco dining. A beautifully designed gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home, boasting top-of-the-line appliances, quartz countertops, an eat-in island, and bespoke cabinetry that opens to the family room with fireplace and custom built-in shelves. The fourth bedroom/office is sited in the front of the home with views of the front yard. The mudroom and built-in desk offer custom organization . The upper level includes three bedrooms with a generous landing/den including a primary retreat, complete with a spa-inspired ensuite bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub, serene shower, vanity and elegant brass fixtures. Additional bedrooms are equally inviting, each thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort and style. An additional open space for multiple uses rests at the top of the stairs with views of downtown and beyond. An oversized garage measuring 726 square feet features an attic with potential for enhancement. The landscaped backyard provides a tranquil escape, with lush greenery, a stone patio, fire pit, and room for a pool. Located in one of La Crescenta's most desirable neighborhoods, this home is conveniently located near Blue Ribbon La Crescenta schools and just minutes from charming boutiques, dining, and scenic hiking trails. With its impeccable design and prime location, this French modern warm masterpiece is a rare find.
