About This Home
As of March 2025Character 1920’s cottage tucked away, high up in La Crescenta’s desirable Briggs area. 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. The vaulted ceilings are featured again in the primary bedroom along with skylights, three closets and an attached full bath. The showstopper is the huge two-tier back deck, perched above a natural canyon, there are no neighbors behind the property offering open space and privacy. Other features include copper plumbing, workshop attached to the garage, central heat and A/C, 2 fireplaces, large front porch, huge driveway, built in BBQ, and within the school boundary Monte Vista Elementary.
