Description

Uniquely perched above the quiet cul de sac lane for privacy, as well as to take advantage of stunning views of the San Gabriel Mountains, this contemporary residence exudes smart sophistication, and a gracious floor plan. The first level, almost gallery-like in presentation, features voluminous heights and a series of oversized french doors to capture light and tree-top vistas. The grand public space includes living room with fireplace, dining with wet bar companion, guest powder room and discrete storage. The fine-honed adjoining kitchen and breakfast nook features chef's appropriate appliances by Wolf, Sub-Zero and Miele. A spacious bedroom with bathroom and shower, is currently being utilized as a flexible and a more casual media den. The center-mounted stairway stately wraps the fireplace column and leads to a second floor library, office sitting area with arresting unobstructed vistas, a bank of operable french doors with broad balcony, fireplace and book wall with writing desk. The stately primary bedroom wing features an opulent bathing suite, walk-in closet and direct access to the upslope rear lawn and garden. Two additional bedrooms, each with bathrooms en suite, additional storage and second floor laundry room upstairs. Gated, with private drive to motor court and two car garage. Side first-level patio with built-in bbq, directly accessible from the kitchen. Due to the topography, the property features an uncommon second floor yard and patio space. Recent system upgrades.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from December 05, 2024
