And when you come home at the end of the day, you can rest comfortably because this property's split-level layout offers far more space than you might have guessed. Step through the front door into an elegant entry foyer. On this level you'll find the home's spacious master en suite along with two more large bedrooms both with gorgeous views and plentiful natural light. A dual-sink bathroom rests nearby. A set of stairs off the foyer leads you down to the bottom level where Mid-Century charm is on full display. A huge living room boasts an oversized fireplace, pitched ceiling with exposed beams, and a powder room for easy entertaining. The architectural beauty of this space will make your heart skip a beat! The attached dining area gracefully flows into the spacious kitchen with breakfast nook. Beautiful views from the kitchen will allow you to gaze upon swaying trees and picturesque, snowcapped mountains while preparing meals. Beyond the living room, find a game room soaked in natural light thanks to a wall with 3 sets of sliding glass doors offering a majestic view of the lush backyard, countless treetops, and the awe-inspiring San Gabriel mountains in the distance. Adjacent to the living room rests a huge family room with an oversized wet-bar, floor-to-ceiling fireplace, and an attached office. This room could easily be converted into a spectacular master suite. Unwind at the end of the day on the large deck outside of the game room, while children or pets gleefully play on the giant, flat, grassy lawn down below. A smaller, second deck nearby is the perfect place for a BBQ. With more than enough room for a swimming pool or playground, this incredible backyard will be your treasured gathering place for outdoor parties and get togethers. The sweet scent of your persimmon and fig trees will make the festivities all the merrier as you enjoy precious time with the people you love.
