Discover sophisticated and timeless design in this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-level mid-century gem nestled in the foothills of La Canada. With 2,192 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and sited on a large, flat lot, on a quiet private road, this home is perfect for those who value both aesthetics and serenity. Wide carved double front doors, vertical wood panel siding and a rustic rock-framed entry are just a few of the mid-century modern features that that welcome visitors with mid-century verve. The landscaping palette here includes live oak, a handsome mix of California native and drought tolerant mediterranean plants, and sculptural agave. The pebbled front walkway, slate tile floor on the covered front porch and a sidelight window with mirroring planters on the exterior and interior entry introduce the consistent connection between indoor and outdoor spaces found within. Inside, the original mid-century two-sided rock fireplace seems to have a gravitational pull - it's a striking centerpiece in both the den and spacious living room. The living room is quintessential midcentury southern California with a wall of picture windows, vaulted ceiling and soffits fitted with lighting. Natural light abounds here, highlighting the home's super cool original architectural details, including stunning refinished oak floors, built-in shelving and cabinetry lining the southern wall of living and dining rooms.
