Each Tuesday, my brother-in-law Joe and I look at the newest Foothill listings on Broker’s Caravan day for La Canada and La Crescenta. However, home buyers face a challenging real estate market where well-priced homes sell rapidly and frequently exceed the asking price. Furthermore, some weeks the listings seem to be either horrible or overpriced.
Meanwhile, I selected the La Canada home of the week at 3959 Madison Rd. However, it’s a small (1648 sq ft) mid-century on a nearly 20,000-level lot, with an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, garden, and views. It’s perfect for one or two people to embrace California’s enviable indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
MLS remarks for 3959 Madison Rd. Read:
(typos/grammar not mine) “A rare offering in the Flintridge Hills just under one-half acre mostly flat! This home has not been offered for sale to the public for many years; add on or build new on this amazing lot with stunning views of the mountains and city lights. Located on a tranquil street behind gates, the home is private. The existing home has been remodeled and updated by the current owners with exquisite details. Walls of glass bring in the light and views. The property has a large pool grassy lawns and a complete outdoor kitchen and fireplace”.
