304 Tocino Dr, Duarte, CA 91010

At the very top of Tocino Drive, nestled against the majestic San Gabriel Mountains, lies a beautifully preserved and enhanced custom-built mid-century ranch home, private and serene, with multi-directional views. It was marvelous to begin with, owned by the same individual for 60 years, who had the good sense not to tamper with the priceless features of layout, style, and accents that gave the home its unique identity. Current owners only added to that value, in ways that matter to beauty as well as long-term durability and comfort -- updated electric, HVAC, lighting, a gourmet kitchen, a new roof - and brought their own gifted vision to an enhanced landscaping earning the City of Duarte's Water-Wise Design Award of 2019. Its 1668 sf of living space offer a versatile floor plan with 3 functional bedrooms and 2 baths, and an attached garage. A 13555 sf lot invites you to your own version of indoor-outdoor life. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more peaceful niche than you do at this far north cul-de-sac, and yet you are so very close to parks, trails, schools, shopping and dining, and the freeways and Huntington Drive to take you farther out in the world - if you decide that you must break the spell of this golden solitude, that is! Unpack. Relax.
