5725 Canyonside Rd, La Crescenta, CA 91214

High in historic Briggs Terrace, this 1923 Craftsman masterpiece with guest house has known only two families in more than a century, and it shows in every preserved detail. The original well house still stands on the nearly half-acre grounds, a marker of the era when these foothills were first settled. The 2,234-square-foot main house with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms opens to beamed ceilings, solid hardwood floors, and custom leaded glass that throws color across the rooms. A grand stone fireplace anchors the living room; the dining room is a showstopper with gorgeous clear redwood paneling; the spacious kitchen pairs warm wood counters with a deck patio for morning coffee. The primary suite is a retreat unto itself, with its own fireplace, handsome built-ins, and a private spa patio. Windows and French doors line the house on every side, opening to lush foliage and mountain and LA City views that turn spectacular at sunset. A separate, permitted 920-square-foot guest house with private access offers a full living room, bedroom, bath, and kitchen, plus a dedicated office with professional desks--ready for extended family, guests, or a serious work-from-home setup. A detached flex space with electricity makes an ideal artist studio. A three-car garage, EV charger, RV parking, and ample storage add functionality. Designer gardens, mature citrus trees, an entertainer's patio with firepit and heritage stone barbecue, and a spacious open yard with room for a pool make these grounds ideal for both privacy and gathering. Copper piping and comprehensive updates throughout mean the systems match the craftsmanship. Minutes to parks and shopping, and award-winning La Crescenta schools.
