MLS Remarks for 2435 Orange Avenue La Crescenta read: This is one of La Crescenta’s prized country homes, resting on a large parcel in the Briggs Terrace neighborhood that is so sought after for its award-winning schools. Fortunately, the lodge-style character has been thoughtfully preserved while being updated for a very fortunate Buyer today. The large entry opens to formal living and dining rooms with original hardwood floors, a romantic stone fireplace, and large windows overlooking the park-like grounds. The kitchen, breakfast nook, and downstairs bath have been tastefully updated.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, a wonderful family room with a raised wood beam ceiling, and another updated bath. The garage space has been updated into a large media room, a laundry room, and a home office. The secluded rear grounds have a grass play yard, rose garden, and a built-in BBQ for outdoor entertaining. The front grounds are massive with several mature trees and even more play yards and gardens. Just a few of the features include: an updated roof, central air and heating systems, a circular driveway, and all on a rare parcel of over 14,000 square feet.
14000 sq. ft! What a luxury. All that land definitely cements the country feel. I am envious.
