Property Description
Tucked away in the sought-after Upper Briggs Terrace of La Crescenta, this mid-century modern retreat offers privacy, views, and that effortlessly cool vibe today's buyers crave. Designed with intention and style, the home embraces its hillside setting with expansive glass, exposed beam ceilings, and a dramatic step-down living room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace.
The layout isn't cookie-cutter—and that's the charm. An oversized room just off the kitchen easily functions as a home office or optional fourth bedroom, while the open-concept living and dining areas are ready for entertaining or reimagining to fit your lifestyle. The updated windows flood the space with natural light, highlighting the home's clean lines and indoor-outdoor flow.
Step into the secluded backyard and you'll find a private saltwater pool surrounded by mature landscaping. Just above, an upper-level viewing patio delivers sweeping views of Downtown Los Angeles and vibrant sunsets—ideal for relaxed evenings or small gatherings.
The garage is a standout: oversized with impressive depth and height, perfect for a workshop, storage, or specialty vehicles. And for guests or your own convenience, there's ample off-street parking—something rare and valuable in this hillside neighborhood.
Sustainable touches like fully paid solar and flourishing fruit trees add both efficiency and delight. Whether you're drawn to the iconic architecture or the sense of retreat from the everyday, this is more than a home—it's a canvas to personalize and enjoy for years to come.
Don't miss the opportunity to own a truly unique property in one of La Crescenta's most peaceful and desirable pockets.
