    What's special

    Vintage characterUnique treehouse-like perchMountain airWelcoming front porchQuiet settingModern updatesAmple workspace
    An enchanting blend of canyon charm and thoughtful updates, this 1922 Sierra Madre Canyon cottage offers a serene retreat tucked into the San Gabriel Mountains. A river rocklined driveway leads to a welcoming front porch that wraps around a towering cypress tree, creating a unique treehouse-like perch to enjoy the quiet setting and mountain air. Bathed in natural light, the living and dining room is framed by a wall of French windows that open to leafy canyon views. A cozy office with a built-in desk provides a tranquil space for work or creative pursuits. The kitchen balances vintage character with modern updates, featuring butcher block counters, a gas range, custom coffee cabinet, and ample workspace for cooking and entertaining. Two bedrooms and two baths span two levels, offering flexibility for guests, a home office, or a private retreat. The remodeled primary bath is finished with custom tile and a soaking tub. Outdoors, a flagstone patio extends the living space and creates an inviting backdrop for al fresco dining and gatherings. With its seamless indoor-outdoor flow, thoughtful upgrades, and tranquil canyon setting, this home captures the essence of California living. Tucked away in a peaceful location close to Mary's Market, local hiking trails, downtown Sierra Madre, and nearby Pasadena, it offers both retreat and convenience.
