Beautiful expansive home nestled in the foothills of north Duarte. Influenced by the Tudor style, the home features a lovely leaded glass bay window, which graces the front of the house and enhances the spacious living room. Gleaming hardwood flooring continues into the dining room, which has handsome built-in cabinets surrounding the fireplace, an exposed wood ceiling with an elegant chandelier, and a stunning stained-glass window. French doors lead from the dining room to a relaxing covered patio, backyard, and the sparkling pool with spa. The chef's kitchen features granite counters, custom cabinetry, and plenty of windows for lots of natural light. On this level, there are two bedrooms, each with plantation shutters and open beam ceilings, and a shared bath. Upstairs, another charming leaded glass window welcomes you at the stair landing. To your left, there are two bedrooms, one with its own bath, the adjacent one currently used as an office and guest room. The master bedroom is truly a retreat, with a spa-like bathroom with gorgeous chandelier, and a large walk-in closet. French doors lead to a private balcony. .. .But wait, there's more! A bonus room off the garage could be multi-use, even another bedroom. This home simply has it all

Local insights from Redfin agents
Duarte continues to offer great opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Buyers have a little more room to negotiate, while homes that are priced well and show beautifully can still attract strong interest.
