La Canada Flintridge Estate

It’s hard to believe that this expansive La Canada Flintridge estate set in its own private tranquil world is less than 30 minutes from the studios, West Side, and DTLA. Designed by Jay Johnson and built in 1996, the thoughtful floor plan pays attention to how we live, how we work, and how we entertain. Every room is a beautiful space, with serene views and easy indoor-outdoor flow throughout. The two-story foyer opens to the beautiful living room and formal dining room. Adjacent Butler’s pantry/bar flows into the stunning kitchen, breakfast room, and family room. Wide French doors in each of these rooms overlook and open out to an outdoor kitchen, covered patio, pool, and lush, impeccably manicured grounds. The spacious first-floor primary bedroom suite features an adjacent sitting room with a fireplace, French doors out to a private patio, and a spacious full bath plus two huge walk-in closets. A second-bedroom suite located on the first floor is currently used as an exercise room and has two closets and an en-suite full bath. The inviting library has walls of built-in bookcases, a stone fireplace with a hearth, and views of the front yard. The adjacent real working office has a double desk, and tremendous storage with built-in open bookcases, closed-door cupboards, and file drawer storage. The huge laundry room and two powder baths complete the first floor. Elegant front and back staircases lead to the Second Floor. Four-bedroom suites are located off the wide center hall and all have en-suite bathrooms and views. The cozy upstairs office/craft room is perfectly located. The unbelievable media lounge and adjacent bonus playroom, both with built-in storage, provide amazing entertaining opportunities for two age groups, two activities, or just a crowd. There is tremendous storage throughout the entire second floor...built-in, walk-in, and under the eave. The 58,280 sq ft lot is private and absolutely magical with lush mature trees and plantings throughout. Broad-covered patios are enjoyed across the back of the house. The outdoor kitchen overlooks the saltwater Pebble-Tec pool, spa, and gorgeous grassy area with magnolia and other mature trees. The pickleball/half-court basketball court is only steps away and adjacent to raised beds for vegetables. Paths lead through an oasis of mature trees, camellias, azaleas, and ferns... Descanso Gardens in your own backyard. Truly, a one-of-a-kind home and property.
