About This Home
As of July 2025As you arrive home with the Verdugo Mountains in the background, you will be greeted by beautiful landscaping complete with Boxwood hedges, flowering Roses and Lillys. Once inside you will find plenty of space for everyone with almost 3,000 square feet of living area, spread over two levels. Truly, this house offers so much for so many, with four/five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The floor plan is spacious and creates endless living possibilities...Large family, extended family, work from home, you name it! The large living room has a fireplace to cozy up to and the adjacent dining room leads to a spacious kitchen with many amenities including granite countertops, tile-backsplash, pantry and stainless-steel appliances including a double-oven. Just down the hall from the kitchen is a large family room complete with a second fireplace, cabinets, granite countertops, and shelving. The upper (street) level has two oversized bedrooms with a full bathroom in between. There is also a primary suite with an ensuite room that could double as an office, oversized walk-in closet or baby’s room, etc.
As you go downstairs, you will find another large open area with a separate kitchenette and a second ensuite with a large bedroom and 3/4 bathroom; perfect for in-laws, older children or those who just want a little privacy. At the opposite end of the lower level, past multiple storage areas, is another large bonus room, ideal for a home-gym, playroom, spacious office or additional storage. For those with entrepreneurial vision, this may also be converted into an ADU.
The house is tastefully decorated with large baseboards, crown molding and 2” faux-wood window blinds, along with engineered hand-scraped hardwood floors throughout, while tile floors adorn the kitchen and bathroom floors. The house has a newer roof and HVAC system, and there is ample storage along with a detached two-car garage. The large backyard is perfect for entertaining, with a patio area large enough to accommodate a BBQ and spacious eating area, while the landscaped backyard is ideal for kids to play in or you to just to sit back in and relax at the end of the day.
All this while having award-winning CV Schools nearby as well as Crescenta Valley Park and the 210 freeway. Welcome home!
