Marketing remarks for 5445 La Crescenta Ave, La Crescenta:
Nestled high in the foothills of La Crescenta, this 1958 single-story mid-century ranch presents a rare opportunity to own a true architectural gem. Even more impressive, it boasts sweeping views in every direction. As you enter, the seamless indoor-outdoor flow immediately reveals itself. Four sliding glass doors lead directly to the patios, while a uniquely shaped MacDonald Bros. pool serves as the focal point of the backyard. Additionally, the home sits on an expansive lot of over half an acre.
Inside, the layout offers both function and style. With four bedrooms and three bathrooms—including a private guest wing—the home encompasses approximately 2,495 square feet. As a result, it blends timeless mid-century design with everyday comfort.
The main gathering spaces are characterized by soaring vaulted ceilings. Walls of glass flood the rooms with light and frame sweeping vistas—mountains to the north and south, sunsets to the west. Meanwhile, parquet floors warm the living room and bedrooms. Original terrazzo, authentic to the era, enhances the entry, dining room, kitchen, family room, laundry room, and powder room. That powder room also doubles as a pool bath with exterior access.
Upgrades were made to key structural components. Yet, many original details remain. Architecture buffs will admire the slate walkway, double-sided fieldstone fireplace, coved uplighting, exposed beams and rafters, pocket doors, louvre doors, and even a bath atrium.
Altogether, this home captures a lifestyle. Every day feels like a retreat. And here, you can live your best life surrounded by history, design, and beauty.
