3711 Glenwood Avenue in La Crescenta
Located down a brick paved driveway among mature trees and a lush natural setting quietly sits this post and beam residence originally built in 1954. Situated on nearly 1/3 acre, this 1,590 square foot home is a mid-century time-capsule chocked full of exposed wood work, natural stone and walls of glass.
The entry is graced with a vaulted ceiling, two wood sculptures and a river rock garden. I love the large scale rock pavers that give way to carpeting in the main areas but returns in the kitchen.
The living room features a wood ceiling and is punctuated at one end with a large stone and brick wood-burning fireplace and views of the grounds.
The breakfast area is basked in sunlight from floor to ceiling windows which also give views to the backyard. Recently the home has been updated with new heating, updated copper plumbing, a newer standing seam metal room and a detached garage.
The updated yet preserved kitchen has stone floors, granite counters, updated appliances, and the original Western-Holly oven located at waist level just past the refrigerator.
The spacious exposed beamed master bedroom includes copious amounts of built in storage, a unique wall clock and access to the gardens surrounding the property.
The main hall leads to the two large bedrooms, den, and the large shared full bath.
The tranquil den boasts a wood burning fireplace and clerestory windows to the hallway.
The private rear yard is a sanctuary for gardening, outdoor entertaining, or just relaxing.
