Welcome to the Crown Jewel in coveted Whiting Woods. Set amidst a sprawling canopy of mature trees and lush foliage on over an acre of land, this 5 bedroom/3 bath mid-Century architectural gem offers a classic aesthetic and rare opportunity for reimagining. On the market for the first time since it was custom built in 1965, it became home to famed architect Jim Langenheim--renowned for his iconic LAX Theme Building and Aaron Spelling mansion--who designed the family room and loft addition. The home features designer vintage elements throughout, including original wood paneling and wall treatments, three handsome fireplaces, walnut kitchen cabinetry, a vintage soda fountain, a primary suite with garden patio and sunken tub, and spiral staircase leading up to a fabulous library retreat with balcony, bookshelves and bar. Walls of windows in the generous living, dining and family rooms provide spectacular views and seamless flow to expansive grounds that surround the house. The main floor offers four spacious bedrooms with options to customize for a home office or in-law suite, three baths and over-sized laundry room. The finished basement adds a fifth bedroom and large recreation or media room. Other features include lath and plaster walls, new carpet and vinyl flooring, fresh interior/exterior paint, abundant storage, attached two-car garage, and metal roof. Step outside to your private arboretum to enjoy serenity among the oaks, sycamores, citrus trees, camelias, roses, azaleas, kitchen garden, and a seasonal babbling stream that runs the length of the property. Multiple garden patios are artistically arranged for beauty and functionality. Entertaining is easy on the barbecue patio and sports court with night lighting. Just up the street at the top at the top of the cul de sac is a trailhead to world-class hiking and biking in the Verdugo Mountains.Ideally located within easy access to award-winning La Crescenta schools, Crescenta Valley Park and freeways to downtown LA and studios. Enjoy the art of living well in this architectural masterpiece, where elegance and unparalleled natural beauty combine to create the ultimate in California living.
