Last month, the most expensive luxury home sale in La Crescenta took place in the popular Pinecrest neighborhood, located at 5457 Pineridge Drive. I had the pleasure of viewing this La Crescenta listing on caravan day. The real estate agent who sold the home was a former client of mine. When I sold her and her husband their Altadena home, she worked for a furniture store, and several years after their home purchase, she became a real estate agent. Fortunately for me, she is one of my few clients who has obtained a real estate license.

Marketing:
This sophisticated east-facing home sits in the highly desirable Pinecrest area of La Crescenta. Thoughtfully updated and lovingly maintained, it offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a wine cellar, and a convertible den that easily functions as a fourth bedroom. The spacious primary suite includes an en suite bath with a soaking tub and a separate steam shower.
Next, the large, bright kitchen features an adjoining dining area and a wood-burning brick fireplace. Sliding bi-fold doors open wide to the patio, creating a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors.
Step outside to a private backyard designed for entertaining. You’ll find a cascading fountain, outdoor bar, and a covered patio—ideal for barbecues and gatherings. Additionally, the flat yard offers plenty of space to play or relax, surrounded by mature persimmon, avocado, and lime trees.
Recent upgrades include designer interior paint, espresso-toned hand-hewn hardwood floors, and energy-efficient Pella triple-pane windows. Recessed ceiling lights and built-in speakers add modern function and style. All three bathrooms have been renovated with top-of-the-line finishes.
For peace of mind, the home also features newer copper plumbing, an upgraded electrical panel, and a two-car attached garage with an automatic door. Ultimately, the composite wood shake roof provides durability and a classic curb appeal.
This mid-century beauty sold for $1,300,000 – $102,000 over the asking price. The seller purchased this home in 2005 for $869,500.
