Fantasy cottage living in L.A.'s best-kept secret, Kagel Canyon. Nestled in the Angeles National Forest with a year-round spring-fed creek and wilderness trails waiting at your door, this oak-canopied retreat feels worlds away from the city. Enjoy mint lemonade on the deck from your edible garden while hummingbirds nest nearby and hawks circle overhead. The landscaped backyard, patios, and shaded nooks create inviting year-round outdoor living. This two-bedroom, one-bath home lives larger than its footprint and features a rare working fireplace and updated appliances. The creek-side lot also offers potential for future expansion. Upgrades over the last five years make this seasoned house feel new. The Canyon's one-of-a-kind neighborhood boasts friendly, genuine neighbors. Bi-monthly community events bring people together to dance, sing, and eat. Recreate in tranquil Dexter Park, watching horses and peacocks wander by, and relax with friends in the storied Hideaway bar and restaurant. Quiet canyon living is just minutes from the 210, 118, 5, and 405.
