The story
Set on an expansive canyon lot in La Verne, this private canyon retreat offers a rare blend of natural beauty, thoughtful design, and modern upgrades. A long driveway ascends from the street past a detached garage located at the base of the property, leading up to the main residence. Wrought iron fencing lines the driveway approach, while the elevated entry welcomes you with stone retaining walls, curated landscaping, and a covered front porch. The home opens into a spacious main living area featuring wide-plank flooring, recessed lighting, and an open layout connecting the kitchen and dining spaces. The kitchen is centrally positioned and features updated cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar with seating, offering both functionality and connection to the surrounding living areas. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area is set within a fully glass-enclosed structure, surrounded by windows that provide expansive natural light and unobstructed views of the surrounding canyon landscape, creating a distinct architectural feature within the home. The living room is positioned just beyond the main living area and is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Multiple windows bring in natural light while maintaining continuity with the open layout. The primary suite is generously sized with its own fireplace and flexible sitting area. The fully remodeled primary bathroom includes a soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, modern vanity, and direct access to the outdoors. Additional bedrooms are well-proportioned, while a secondary suite provides flexibility for guests or extended living, complete with its own ensuite bath and a dedicated laundry area with built-in storage and utility sink. The grounds feature multiple terraced levels with stonework, mature trees, many oak trees, a seasonal creek, shaded seating areas, and pathways throughout, offering a range of usable outdoor spaces across the property. Recent improvements include natural gas service, dual tankless water heaters, upgraded plumbing, remodeled bathrooms, updated kitchen appliances, enhanced lighting, and a water reuse system supporting irrigation.
