On a small cul-de-sac in La Canada’s Sagebrush neighborhood rests this large one story residence. The exterior design accomplishes what is often attempted and rarely delivered – an understated elegance that is inviting yet private.

A discreet path leads to a welcoming front patio. Once the front door opens you are embraced in natural light and a view through walls of glass out over the pool, the gazebo, and the view beyond. The oversized formal entry has the preserved original slate flooring and opens to the formal living room with rich wood floors, French windows, and a beautiful fireplace. The dining room is formal as well with its own petite fireplace. A bright kitchen opens to the family room with its high ceiling and custom built-ins.

The East wing has a very large home office as well as a guest suite. The West has three bedrooms and two updated baths. The master retreat has its own sitting room, a master bedroom with a third fireplace, views of the rear yard, two closets, and its own master bath. One of the other bedrooms is currently configured as a gentleman’s dressing room.

The long time Owners have created a gorgeous rear yard with a pool, spa, an artful koi pond with waterfalls, and even a gazebo on which to sip a mint julep and enjoy the views. Just a few of the features include: central air and heating, an attached 3 car garage, and additional off street parking for an RV and boat via a gate on Castle Road.
