Surrounded by nature, bordering Angeles National Forest, perched on a large double lot, and rich in character, this is a rare offering at this price point. The highlight of the interior space is the grand living room with open beamed ceilings, an impressive rock fireplace, original hardwood floors and views of the surrounding natural landscape. The kitchen is large with vaulted ceilings, skylights, an island, a secondary dining space and features large windows overlooking Angeles National Forest. Two ample bedrooms and one charming bathroom are downstairs with the primary suite upstairs.
