What's special

You've been dreaming of the space -- room for the kids, a home office, and a yard that actually feels like a retreat. This is it. Set on an expansive 8,994 sq ft lot in the coveted La Canada/Pasadena corridor, this mid-century gem checks every box and then some. Step through the front door and you're immediately welcomed by a stunning picture window that frames the lush backyard like a piece of art. Soaring vaulted ceilings amplify the sense of openness throughout, giving the home an airy, light-filled energy from the moment you arrive. The kitchen is a dream come true featuring a dedicated coffee bar, sleek quartz countertops, and bar seating perfect for morning routines or casual entertaining. The sunken living room delivers effortless mid-century character, anchored by a classic gas fireplace that sets the tone for cozy evenings in. The primary suite continues the mid-century story with vaulted ceilings, a beautiful statement fan, and double closets. The ensuite bath is serene and stylish, with a gorgeous shower that turns your daily routine into a moment of calm. On the opposite wing, three additional bedrooms and a full bath with tub offer ideal separation for guests, kids, or a dedicated home office. Outside is where this home truly shines. The back patio flows seamlessly off the dining room ideal for al fresco dining and weekend gatherings. The large yard has room to run, and the cowboy pool is your go-to on those warm LA days. But the outdoor experience doesn't stop at the fence line. Step through the back gate and you're transported into over an acre of privately maintained, manicured land with winding trails accessible exclusively to the homes that surround it. It's a rare slice of nature that feels entirely your own. And for the adventure seekers: follow the road to its end and you'll find direct access to Devils Gate Reservoir, making weekend hikes a part of your everyday life. Two-car garage. Curated outdoor space. Private trails. Reservoir access. This is the one.
