Property Description

This Monterey Colonial combines timeless architecture with thoughtful updates and sweeping mountain views. Set on a terraced, drought-tolerant lot near Deukmejian Wilderness Park, the home offers privacy, refined design, and undeniable curb appeal. A broad staircase leads to double doors and a warm welcome inside, where hardwood floors flow throughout, and a raised-hearth brick fireplace anchors the formal living room, seamlessly connecting to a spacious dining area. The kitchen is both functional and stylish, featuring new appliances, granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, wine storage, and a built-in pantry. A center island with a breakfast bar invites gatherings, while glass-front cabinets add an elegant touch for displaying glassware. Double-wall ovens provide added convenience. Just off the kitchen, a covered patio sets the scene for relaxed outdoor living and entertaining. At the front of the home, a separate family room offers additional space to unwind, complemented by a beautifully finished powder room on the main level. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are filled with natural light and treetop views. The primary suite features custom-built-ins, a walk-in closet, and a wraparound balcony framing breathtaking views of the Foothills. The en-suite bath is a luxurious retreat, complete with a soaking tub, separate shower, and double vanity. The backyard is a private oasis with a gated pool and spa surrounded by lush landscaping and mature trees, offering shade, seclusion, and serenity. A separate hillside seating area provides an intimate spot to relax or entertain. Above the detached garage, the expansive guest house includes a kitchenette, full bath, and private patio overlooking the backyard. Currently permitted as part of the main residence, it offers flexibility for conversion into a legal ADU if desired. Additional highlights include double-pane windows, custom storage throughout, an upgraded 3-zone HVAC system, and a wide shared driveway. Nestled in a sought-after La Crescenta neighborhood, this is a home that offers character, comfort, and room to grow.
