Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac, this fully reimagined mid-century gem blends timeless character with modern comfort and effortless flow. The inviting walkway leads to the front door, which opens to a welcoming foyer introducing a warm, contemporary layout accented by luxurious finishes. The living room to the left, centered around a Roman clay fireplace wall, flows naturally into the adjacent dining area, with a large sliding glass door leading to the serene front garden and deck, creating a natural indoor-outdoor connection. The beautifully remodeled kitchen serves as the prelude to the heart of the home, opening directly to the expansive rear deck and patio. Extra-long in layout, the kitchen is appointed with striking Brown Forest marble counters, intricate tile work, a cozy breakfast area and built-in coffee and beverage bar—perfect for casual dining and entertaining. A central hallway leads to the private sleeping quarters, where a designer powder room and a skylit laundry room with marble counters enhance everyday functionality. Two bedrooms with tranquil garden views share a remodeled hall bath, while a junior suite enjoys the privacy of its own en-suite bath, a sliding door opens to the serene rose garden, and a charming hidden bookcase door reveals a flexible space with a separate entry—offering exciting potential for conversion to a junior ADU, private office, or creative studio. The spacious family room showcases expansive windows and a sliding door that entice one to the enchanted rear deck and patio, creating a relaxed gathering space that serves as the true heart of the home. Beyond the family room, the tranquil primary suite is truly a personal sanctuary; featuring a generous dressing room with a custom closet system, and a private patio that provides an intimate outdoor haven—perfect for meditation or “quiet me time.” The spa-inspired primary bath offers a soothing escape, appointed with Green Forest marble counters, frosted glass sinks, and a luxurious walk-in shower. The exterior grounds are designed as a series of outdoor zones, including a vegetable garden with fruit trees, a fire pit lounge, grassy play area, and an artfully designed California water-wise garden. Mountain views provide a picturesque backdrop, while the brand-new custom-designed driveway and two-car garage add everyday convenience. This exceptional property offers rare combination of space, privacy, and versatility; embodying the best of So-Cal living with Sierra Madre’s small-town charm, where indoor comfort and outdoor beauty come together in perfect harmony.
