About the Listing PF10755 - P785794

The ultimate urban homestead, this late Craftsman cottage has been restored and improved to sublime effect. Beautiful Western Sycamore trees and a picket-topped brick fence line the northern border of this 12,520 sf lot. A bougainvillea-trimmed arbor frames the front garden, a pollinator haven teeming with monarch butterflies. Built in 1922 and painstakingly preserved by the current owners, the home's exterior features lap siding, symmetrical cottage windows, twin dormers, and an ornamental gazebo entry. Inside, gleaming hardwood floors and rich details abound, from handsome mouldings and trim work to wood casement windows; this home embodies quality craftsmanship. Both the light-filled living room with handsome fireplace and picture-perfect dining room enjoy inspiring views of the garden, with the San Gabriel Mountains in the background. The showstopping renovated kitchen offers elegant shaker cabinetry, custom tiled walls, farmhouse sink and suite of stainless steel KitchenAid appliances and Bertazzoni range. A convenient under-counter beverage fridge is the icing on the cake. The kitchen flows into the thoughtfully designed laundry room and adjacent mud room, both offering outdoor access and ample storage. Rounding out the ground floor are a powder bath for easy entertaining, and an enviable primary suite has boutique hotel vibes with dual sink vanity, linen storage and enclosed soaking tub with steam shower. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms, one styled as a home office with built-in desk, are special with mountain and garden views. An additional renovated windowed full bath shares the upper level. The generous grounds here are fabulous, including a large sitting deck, covered outdoor dining and entertaining patio with a built-in grill kitchen. Turf, lawn, a citrus orchard, raised vegetable beds and paved driveway spaces encircle the home on this fully fenced lot - the residence is sited for full enjoyment of this enchanting property. A finished, 671 SF, two-car garage with additional large workshop offers utility behind stylish french doors. Central to Christmas Tree Lane, burgeoning retail and dining along the Lincoln Avenue corridor, EaterLA-featured Mariposa Village spots, and convenient to La Canada Flintridge, Pasadena and Downtown LA, what a special home!
