For the first time in 40 years, this cherished La Crescenta home is ready for its next chapter. Nestled in one of the area's most sought-after communities and within the boundaries of award-winning schools, this property presents an incredible opportunity to bring your vision to life and build real sweat equity. Set on a quiet street with a fully fenced backyard with vinyl fencing, the home features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across a classic single-level layout. The living room is anchored by a brick fireplace and hearth with a wood mantel, wood-paneled walls, dual-pane windows, and wood-like laminate flooring leading in from the entry. The spacious kitchen has been updated with black granite countertops, custom tile backsplash, stainless steel sink, and a 5-burner gas cooktop with a double wall oven. A versatile first bedroom has en-suite access to a 3/4 bath and also connects to the attached two-car garage with laundry. Two additional bedrooms offer ceiling fans, generous closet space, and easy access to a full updated hallway bath. Outside, you'll discover a spacious backyard with a concrete patio--ideal for reimagining outdoor living. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking to build equity, an investor, or someone with a vision for transformation, this is a can't-miss opportunity to unlock the potential of this charming home in a neighborhood that rarely sees homes available.
