405 Sequoia Dr

Updated traditional with views in the San Rafael Hills!

Sited above lush landscaping on quiet, gently curving Sequoia Drive, this three bedroom, two bath property offers privacy and stunning San Gabriel mountains vistas. Character elements include charming brick front steps, walkway, and fireplace, transitioning to a saltillo tile front porch. This well-preserved historic home is a tapestry of stylistic features: here, hand-troweled plaster walls, and flattened arches juxtaposed with tongue-in-groove paneled ceilings and grand picture windows. The entry vestibule is stylish and timeless in a uniquely Southern California way: the arched plaster niche is reflected in the mirrored wall and picture window which capture treetop and foothill scenery. Beamed wood ceilings and Saltillo brick floor in the entrance enhance the organic, outdoor-indoor feel, as do narrow-plank hardwood floors and coved plaster ceilings in the spacious living room. With a floor-to-ceiling decorative brick fireplace and raised basketweave pattern brick hearth, plus oversize picture windows, the living room is both inviting and expansive. The flow between public spaces is effortless here: living room on the east side of the home leads to the family room through a generous archway to the west, and adjacent dining room. Boasting original coved ceilings and built-in buffet, the dining room leads to an updated kitchen with shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. With the beautiful mountains framed in the window above the kitchen counter, it's a dream spot to prepare dinner, or make morning coffee - and the adjoining laundry room with utility cabinetry, side-by-side washer/dryer and folding counter is perfectly placed. Private spaces include two comfortably-sized bedrooms and a full bath, as well as the primary suite with cathedral vaulted ceiling and walls of picture and triangular gable windows. Family room with beamed tongue-in-groove wood ceiling, wet bar and sliding door to the open-air deck offers an ideal space to entertain and appreciate fabulous indoor-outdoor living. A mature olive tree, brick patio and lower dining deck in the back yard provide a private space for quiet relaxation, with prime western exposure for garden enthusiasts or those looking for a spot to install a grassy pad. Enjoy easy parking in the finished two car garage with lofted storage in this coveted neighborhood convenient to Pasadena, Downtown and all the best of Northeast LA.
