About This Home

As of October 2025

Tucked away at the end of a private driveway on a generous parcel surrounded by lush, mature greenery, this inviting 4-bedroom split-level ranch is move-in ready yet rich with potential for updates and reimagining. A gently winding front walkway leads through the garden, setting a warm and welcoming tone. Beyond the double doors, you are greeted by a beautiful exposed brick entryway that adds warmth and character, leading into a bright, airy living room with exposed wood-beam ceilings and a classic brick fireplace. A sliding glass door reveals a tranquil balcony patio with picturesque treetop and mountain views, perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The open living area flows seamlessly into the dining room and a spacious kitchen offering abundant counter space, ample cabinetry, and a cozy breakfast nook with direct access to the backyard. Down the hall, the private bedroom wing includes four generously sized bedrooms and a full hallway bath. At the end, the primary suite serves as a true retreat with a large ensuite bath, vanity area, and direct access to its own charming private patio. The lower level features a versatile family room ideal for casual gatherings, with sliding glass doors opening to an additional patio that blends indoor comfort with outdoor living. Outside, multiple patios and seating areas provide flexible spaces to relax or entertain, all surrounded by privacy and greenery. Additional highlights include brand-new laminate flooring throughout the bedrooms, kitchen, and living space; central AC & heat; ceiling fans; direct access to a two-car garage with storage and workbench; a lower-level storage room; laundry closet; and plantation shutters throughout. The functional layout pairs beautifully with a backyard ready for your vision--whether that's a vibrant garden, expansive entertaining space, or the addition of an ADU, swimming pool, or sport court. All this is set within the award-winning La Crescenta school district, just up the street from Crescenta Valley High School.
