Perched on a private cul-de-sac, discover this 4 bed, 3 bath Sierra Madre sanctuary. The large flat park-size yard is elevated above the street providing seclusion for swimming in the heated pool with waterfall. An oasis in the foothills. Inside, a warm brick hearth anchors an open-beamed living & dining space where walls of glass frame verdant nature views. The kitchen flows seamlessly with granite counters, stainless appliances, breakfast nook, & laundry. A first floor ensuite bedroom offers flexible living. Upstairs, clerestory windows let sunlight and treetop views into the spacious primary suite with soaring ceilings, a fireplace, French doors to an office nook, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with a soaking tub & glass shower. A full bathroom complements two more bedrooms overlooking mature trees. Exit the hallway door and cross a footbridge into your private paradise. The expansive flat yard, embraced by mature trees, creates seclusion and potential for an ADU. This is a rare home where nature lovers thrive. Morning coffee with birdsongs. Afternoon swims under swaying branches. Evenings gazing at the stars. Yet you're minutes from downtown Sierra Madre, with easy access to Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, & Los Angeles. A carport, storage sheds, brick patio, pergola, irrigation, raised garden beds--every detail considered. Where foothills tranquility meets urban convenience. Where everyday life feels like vacation. Your haven awaits.
