Set on an expansive 8,994 sq ft lot in the coveted La Canada/Pasadena corridor, this mid-century gem checks every box and then some. Step through the front door and you're immediately welcomed by a stunning picture window that frames the lush backyard like a piece of art. Soaring vaulted ceilings amplify the sense of openness throughout, giving the home an airy, light-filled energy from the moment you arrive. The kitchen is a dream come true featuring a dedicated coffee bar, sleek quartz countertops, and bar seating perfect for morning routines or casual entertaining.

And for the adventure seekers: follow the road to its end and you'll find direct access to Devils Gate Reservoir, making weekend hikes a part of your everyday life. Two-car garage. Curated outdoor space. Private trails. Reservoir access. This is the one.
