Perched in the foothills of La Crescenta, this 1958 single-story mid-mod ranch home offers a rare opportunity to own a timeless architectural gem with breathtaking views in every direction. Showcasing a breezy indoor-outdoor flow, it features 4 sliding glass doors accessing the patios, a unique-shaped MacDonald Bros. pool, and sits on a sprawling half-acre+ lot. With an ideal layout of 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms including a guest wing spanning approximately 2,495 square feet, this home blends an iconic mid-century vibe with comfort and function. Vaulted ceilings and walls of glass in the main gathering spaces flood the home with natural light and frame sweeping vistas of the mountains South and North, and sunset views to the West. Parquet floors rock the living room and bedrooms, while original terrazzo reflecting the true spirit of its era enhances the entry, dining, kitchen, family room, laundry, and powder room, which doubles as a pool bath with exterior access. Many structural components have been upgraded. Architecture buffs will appreciate additional original elements such as slate walkway, double-sided fieldstone fireplace, coved uplighting, exposed beams and rafters, pocket and louvre doors, and bath atrium.
