Marketing Remarks:
In the highly desirable Pinecrest area of La Crescenta, on a precious tree-lined street, one of the rarest and most enchanting homes is now available. This thoughtfully updated and impeccably maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom gem sits on a sprawling 10,000+ square-foot lot. A grand double-door entry welcomes you inside, revealing a seamless indoor/outdoor flow throughout all living areas. The main level exudes elegance with open, light-filled interiors designed for effortless entertaining. An expansive bay window with built-in seating is the focal point in the spacious living room, connecting beautifully to a formal dining room perfect for gatherings.
The elegant family room invites you in with French double-panel glass doors and a striking modern stone fireplace—ideal for cozy evenings and lively celebrations. Overlooking the family room, the chef’s kitchen inspires culinary creativity. It features state-of-the-art stainless-steel appliances, a custom cooktop kitchen island with breakfast seating, gleaming granite counters, abundant maple cabinetry, and a picturesque garden window.
Through stunning glass double doors, the backyard unfolds like a private retreat. Majestic landscaping captures the essence of tranquil, resort-style living. Imagine dining al fresco under spectacular post lighting, swimming in the glistening in-ground pool shaded by a stylish sail, or relaxing on the breathtaking private deck. Lush garden spaces, a charming rose garden, and mature fruit trees—pomegranate, fig, apricot, kumquat, and lemon—add to the serenity of this outdoor oasis. The home also boasts two generous en-suites. A welcoming guest quarters with its own entrance and direct access to the pool sits just a few steps down from the main level. Upstairs, the serene master bedroom en-suite offers dual vanities and shares the space with two additional bedrooms and a well-appointed bath.

Marketing Remarks:
In 1955, Webster Wiley built this classic traditional home for the Kennick family. He chose a large parcel of over 17,000 square feet, providing plenty of space for a spacious design. The generous lot allowed for a sprawling one-story layout. The home includes four bedrooms and four bathrooms, along with an expansive rear yard. The current owners have cherished this home for over 50 years. They hope a very fortunate buyer will do the same.
A formal entry welcomes you inside. It opens to bright formal living and dining rooms, each featuring large windows and a warm fireplace hearth. The kitchen is truly the pride of the home. It boasts an oversized built-in refrigerator and freezer, custom cabinetry, and a center island. A large breakfast room overlooks the vast rear grounds, creating the perfect spot to start the day. Just off the kitchen, a cozy family room awaits. It features its own fireplace and a wet bar, making it ideal for entertaining.
A central hall leads to all four bedrooms in the western wing of the house. The master suite enjoys a bright and private master bath. Outside, the front yard has been beautifully landscaped. It provides both privacy and space for gardening. The rear grounds are perfect for large-scale outdoor entertaining. A spacious motor court, lush gardens, grassy play yard, and a stunning pool and spa exist.
Additionally, the property includes a large workshop of over 500 square feet. This versatile space adds even more value and functionality. Just a few more features make this home even more special. It offers central air and heating, an updated 200-amp electrical panel, and an attached two-car garage. It is located near award-winning schools, making it a perfect choice for families.
386,000 dollars over! That’s crazy. Very daunting for buyers
