Description

Imagine a morning without a rush, where your day begins with a neighborhood stroll or a peaceful moment on your deck, taking in the view. Welcome to the community of La Crescenta Highlands, designed for connection and convenience. Behind the hedges and a thoughtfully designed, water-wise garden, is a welcoming, private home. Once you step inside this two-bedroom, one-bathroom house, the raised ceilings create an airy environment where sunlight fills the living area. Anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace, the living room connects to the dining area before flowing into the kitchen. This chef-designed space is tailored for both quiet mornings and hosting guests. High-end cabinetry and premium appliances meet seamless marble countertops, while an instant hot water dispenser awaits your first cup of coffee or tea. Just outside, a sprawling redwood deck connects to your kitchen and primary bedroom. Here, evenings are framed by panoramic views of the Verdugo Mountains. The backyard offers a secluded space of its own, featuring a great selection of fruit trees, including avocados, plums, nectarines, peaches, pomegranates, lemons, and grapes. For maximum versatility, a detached bonus space has its own AC/heat split, offering a dedicated room for remote work or creative projects away from the main house. Beneath the home is a massive basement featuring reinforced foundations with large concrete buildouts, providing deep storage and potential for a workshop or private studio. With a recently replaced roof and a dedicated Tesla charger, the property is modern and practical. Beyond the front door, the neighborhood invites you to slow down and connect. Set within the award-winning Glendale Unified School District, and served by multiple “Blue Ribbon” schools, this location offers exceptional educational opportunities. You are also just a short distance from the hiking trails, dog park, and skate park at Crescenta Valley Park. Morning routines are easy with a quick trip north to Foothill for everyday amenities and local favorites. On the weekends, a short drive drops you into the heart of Montrose Village and the Montrose Shopping Park for brunch and shopping. Offering easy access to major freeways for a short commute to the Studios, JPL, Caltech, Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, and downtown Los Angeles, this is a home that works perfectly for all stages of life.
