About this property
A two-story ranch with a million-dollar view! Double doors open to an impressive vaulted entry and open staircase. To the left, you find a step-down living room with hardwood floor, fireplace and lots of windows that flood the home with light. The adjoining sitting area offers a quiet place to relax, while the dining area with high ceilings and a view of the back patio and beyond creates an inviting setting for gatherings. The large, open kitchen has ample counter and cabinet storage, plus a wall of pantry cabinetry. The kitchen also opens to a generous den that is perfect for game day and movie nights and has sliding glass doors to the back patio. A first-floor bedroom, 3/4 bath and laundry room leading to the 2-car attached garage complete the bottom level. At the front entry, an open staircase leads to the second floor. The primary bedroom is spacious and features a sitting area with remarkable valley and mountain views, a large bathroom, and a generous closet. There are three additional good-sized bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a large linen closet on the upper level. The two front bedrooms share an expansive balcony overlooking Sequoia Park. The grand back patio is perfect for entertaining with a commanding 180A view of the San Gabriel Valley and the mountains beyond. Best of all, it contains a rare, established orchard planted by the owners over many years out of a love for homegrown fruit. Its remarkable variety includes lychee, longan, rambutan, bananas, pomelo, Chinese jujube, Japanese and soft persimmons, loquats, white donut peaches, plums, Granny Smith, Fuji and Pink Lady apples, pears, tangerines, figs, and Thompson grapes. A new orchard takes years to reach this point. Here the waiting is over, and the fruit is ready to enjoy from day one. The lovingly cultivated garden offers a living legacy for its next owner. This large home offers 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in 3,330 square feet of living area (A) on a 7,270 square foot lot (A) with a mature orchard. Don't miss this opportunity to acquire this rare and beautiful property!
