MLS Remarks for 2360 Shields St La Crescenta read: Escape from the city to this 1937 remodeled Traditional home on a large lot in the desirable Briggs Terrace Neighborhood. This is only the second time in 20 years that the home has been on the market! This charming home features six bedrooms and three attractive full bathrooms. Many upgrades were made, including new flooring and painting throughout the house. There is new landscaping in the front and rear yards, new exterior lighting, a new irrigation system, a remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, a new security camera system, and much more. A fully remodeled guest suite with a separate entrance adds to the property’s features. Additionally, a vintage 300-square-foot rustic cabin, believed to pre-date the home, serves as a pool house, providing another gathering space.
As you enter this charming home, a spacious and open living/dining room combination welcomes you, offering a lush backyard and pool view. A sliding glass door leads to a delightful balcony, perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. The living room showcases a white brick fireplace from the adjoining dining room. Newly added attractive chandeliers illuminate the bedrooms.

Adjacent to the pool, there’s a large bar for serving drinks during poolside dinners, a covered patio for dining, and ample space around the expansive pool. This home, with its unique characteristics and numerous extras, is a special find.
I wonder how much the remodeling costs were. Seems they did quite a lot but I’m sure they still made a tidy profit on this sale based on the sale price. Good for them
