Updated mid-century traditional with views! Zoned for top-rated La Crescenta schools, this three bedroom, two bath home with remodeled kitchen enjoys lovely mountain views from both the front and back yards. With classic 1955-build horizontal wood siding, wide brick front porch and a super cool wood front door with stained glass detail, this home is welcoming from the first impression. Inside, gleaming refinished blonde oak floors flow from the entry into the public rooms: living room with fireplace wraps around to dining room and kitchen. The floor plan here offers nice flow without overexposure; spaces speak to each other, but offer their own individual utility. The kitchen is updated and upgraded with stone counters, shaker cabinets and stainless steel appliances. Three bedrooms, each with ample natural light, are nicely spaced in the home, offering privacy or proximity as desired -- two share a 'jack and jill' bath, and the other adjacent to the second full bath. Laundry is conveniently located off the kitchen and offers access to the backyard, as does the sunny den with sliding doors and view. The terraced backyard boasts a sculptural mature pine tree and a right-sized flat lawn as well as patio areas for outdoor dining and play and gardening -- plus citrus and peach trees. An unexpected bonus: the separate office/studio/creative space perfect for remote work or a private recording location. With parking for three cars and low-maintenance but pretty landscaping, this property offers convenience and lifestyle in a prime location. Plumbing upgraded in 2020 and presidential roof installed August 2023. Just four blocks from Valley View Elementary and equally close to Deukmejian Wilderness Park, this is that elusive great home in a great neighborhood!
