About this property

Some houses are just houses. And then there are the ones that feel like a deep breath the moment you step inside. Tucked into the foothills of La Crescenta, wrapped in mature trees and opened up to scenic canyon views, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom home isn't just a place to live it's a place to belong. Step through the door and the story begins. Vaulted, beamed ceilings soar overhead. Warm wood floors catch the light. Expansive windows pull the hillside in, so the outdoors never feels far away. It's the kind of light-filled, character-rich space that instantly feels like it was waiting for you.This multilevel home unfolds in layers the way the best stories do. The inviting living room spills onto a spacious deck made for golden-hour conversations and slow weekend mornings. A bright dining area flows into the updated kitchen, where everyday life just feels easy. And when you need a space that's all yours? The flexible rooms are ready a home office, a creative studio, a media room, a guest retreat. Whatever chapter is next for you, this house has a room for it. Outside, stone accents and charming architectural details give the home its soul. Multiple balconies and outdoor gathering spaces turn every season into an invitation to breathe the fresh foothill air. The attached garage keeps life practical; the views keep it dreamy. And with recent repairs and improvements, you get the best of both worlds refreshed and move-in ready, while the home's original character shines right through. And the location? The cherry on top. Minutes to Foothill Boulevard, the Montrose Shopping Park, beloved local dining, parks, and miles of hiking right out your doorstep. La Crescenta School District campuses are nearby, including Crescenta Valley High School buyers are encouraged to independently verify school boundaries, enrollment eligibility, and availability. This is more than a house in the hills. It's a serene foothill retreat with flexible living space, views you won't forget, and a neighborhood that feels like family. Come write your story here then come make it yours.
