Sitting on an over one-half acre parcel right in the heart of La Canada Flintridge is this remarkable French Normandy style cottage. Built in 1933, this property has been owned and cherished by the same family for more than sixty years. The children who grew up at this home fondly recall riding horses around the neighborhood to visit friends. The front yard, with 3 large distinctive sycamore trees, has a circular driveway that leads to a recessed formal entryway. Past the whimsical hearts carved into the shutters, and through the original oak front door is an entry hall that leads to a main gathering room featuring high ceilings, hardwood floors and a wood burning fireplace. There are three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. The home features original details like built-in bookcases, a tiled bathroom, and vintage light fixtures and door hardware. The home offers ample storage in the attic and basement. The yard is reminiscent of a country garden with vintage citrus and fruit trees as well as a 90+ year old oak tree. The camellia garden was originally inspired by Descanso Gardens, and is complemented by a variety of roses, including English roses. With ample space for a potential pool, the large backyard lawn is perfect for gatherings, and a lovely play area for children. These features along with La Canada's award winning schools make this property a highly desirable place to call home.
