As a local real estate agent and one of the top La Canada Realtors, I stay current on the latest luxury home sales in my neighborhood
Last month, the most expensive home sold in La Canada was 4144 Chevy Chase Dr. It was listed at $6,495,000 and sold for $6,655,000 after twenty-one days on the market. It is worth noting that the buyers paid in cash. The sellers bought this luxury home in 1996 for $975,000.
Marketing for 4144Chevy Chase Dr La Canada:
From the moment you enter, the thoughtful layout immediately sets the tone for refined living. At once, the striking yet inviting architecture draws you in. Moreover, soaring ceilings and full-radius arched windows flood the space with natural light while framing breathtaking views of the San Gabriel Mountains. Whether entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet night by the fire, the home consistently delivers both comfort and sophistication.
Furthermore, every element reflects top-tier craftsmanship. Italian artisans hand-crafted the knotty alder interior doors and, in addition, designed the arched pine exterior doors and windows using advanced European tilt-and-turn engineering. Meanwhile, reclaimed Tuscan tiles—over 200 years old—introduce rich, old-world character. Adding to the charm, a local ironsmith designed and forged custom wrought-iron fixtures and mirrors, elevating the aesthetic throughout.
Additionally, six wood-burning fireplaces—five of which are full masonry—enhance the home with warmth and ambiance, each connected to gas lines for added convenience. The primary bath serves as a spa-like retreat, complete with two separate toilet rooms, a steam shower, and a deep jetted tub. Throughout, wide-plank pecan and hickory floors, paired with hand-hewn Douglas fir beams, underscore the home’s rustic elegance.
Equally impressive, custom knotty alder cabinetry with flush inset doors offers both form and function. French-imported hardware graces every door, while Italian travertine adds richness underfoot and across surfaces. Moreover, built-in speakers span three surround sound zones for immersive audio throughout the home.
Outside, a custom iron gate opens to a lantern-lit courtyard. A circular drive leads to dual two-car garages and a spacious motor court. Just as thoughtfully, five HVAC zones—each controlled by Nest—ensure personalized comfort in every room.
In terms of upgrades, the home excels. Two 75-gallon water heaters guarantee hot water on demand. A whole-house filtration system and hot water recirculation loop further boost efficiency. Meanwhile, extensive outdoor lighting dramatically highlights the lush, professionally landscaped grounds.
Finally, for recreation, enjoy resurfaced pickleball and basketball courts alongside a Pebble Sheen-finished pool and spa with a diving board. Over 2,000 square feet of patios, decks, and loggias invite gatherings or quiet reflection year-round.
In short, every inch of this estate blends luxury, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design—inside and out.
