LOCALLA

You've been looking for the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood. The best public schools, a quiet street, walkable and serene. Close to hiking trails, shops and cafes. Move-in ready, single-story, pool, ample yard, and space to entertain. If that's your list, you've found it! Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac in La Canada Flintridge, this truly special home is the kind of place you recognize as your forever home the minute you walk in. A circular driveway invites you up to the bright red door, and inside you'll find a 4,000+ sf home on a generous 18,000+ sf flat lot. This home is a study in quintessential California indoor-outdoor living. Both formal and informal living spaces flow effortlessly, making this the perfect place to entertain. The expansive family room, built in 2015 with interiors designed by acclaimed architect Warren Techentin, FAIA, is perfect for game nights, movie nights, or just curling up with one of the books from your floor-to-ceiling library. Bring the outdoors in when you slide back your custom extra-tall fold-slide French doors to reveal the beautiful garden. Formal dinner parties? No problem. The formal dining and living rooms can accommodate. The chef's kitchen has been remodeled with quartz countertops, Bertazzoni range, oversized fridge, and both a farmhouse sink as well as an additional bar/prep sink. The service area behind the kitchen, with its extensive cabinetry, can serve as an oversized pantry with exceptional storage. A direct-entry garage, right off the kitchen, is outfitted with even more built-ins for seemingly endless storage. Craft room, exercise room, three-car garage? The possibilities are yours to explore. 4 bedrooms and 4 recently remodeled bathrooms include a grand primary with a beautifully renovated bath and abundant built-in closets. An additional walk-in closet that is spacious enough to serve as an office, as well as a sitting area with built-ins completes the primary suite. Open the sliding French doors from the primary and you can lounge next to your butterfly garden while taking in the sweet smell of jasmine. The flat, exceptionally private backyard unfolds across distinct garden rooms: an outdoor fireplace, BBQ and dining area under a pergola, a garden room for meditation, yoga, or maybe a special place where only fairies visit? Multiple bluestone and brick areas for dining and lounging, a separate grassy yard, and a sparkling newly resurfaced pool. Meander from the fireplace area to your own private rose garden and vegetable garden while a tetherball game ensues. A substantial hidden storage area offers an ideal footprint for a future ADU, chicken coop, potting area, or workshop projects. Comprehensive, years-long renovations have touched nearly every surface and system, leaving the home move-in ready yet still wrapped inside its original 1938 charm. Less than a mile from the shops and cafes of Foothill Blvd, you're close to everything. Yet, the moment you turn onto the cul-de-sac section of Oakwood, the rest of the world feels wonderfully far away. 5128 Oakwood is a rare offering in one of California's most coveted foothill communities.
