1726 La Loma Rd House

Under the canopy of Western Sycamores lining La Loma Road, this contemporary home with treetop views is modern organic exemplified. Soaring lines and textures of espresso-hued shingles and chevron-set wood siding are complemented by their natural... surroundings; the structure recedes behind leafy Schefflera and palms, hidden in plain sight. Inside this 4 bedroom, 3 bath home comprising almost 4,000 square feet, discover volume, style and abundant natural light. The entry with wide plank, light wood flooring opens to the living room with two-story vaulted ceilings, skylights and dramatic trapezoid window. Sitting far above the street, this home offers the rare opportunity to enjoy unobstructed views from virtually every window, with total privacy. Organic elements ground the space: from swirling greys and terracottas in the stone fireplace hearth, to the handsome natural blonde of the custom floating wood staircase. Public spaces complete the central level: the large dining room is open to the just-completed custom kitchen with stone countertops, ample cabinetry, and oversize waterfall island. Conveniently off the kitchen, find a walk-in pantry and laundry room and adjacent 3/4 bath with walk-in shower. Upstairs, a bright and generous sitting room is contiguous with both the formal living room and the primary suite. The spacious primary bedroom boasts vaulted ceilings, skylight, private balcony and its own decorative fireplace, as well as a fully renovated bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual sink vanity and walk-in closet -- think high-end spa vibes. Downstairs, find three additional bedrooms and a full bath plus storage closet, with direct access to the two-car garage as well as a private terraced patio. This property extends space, both inside and out -- there are so many places for quiet enjoyment or entertaining...and where better to entertain than the backyard pool and spa, a transporting oasis set into the terraced hillside. Located in one of the coveted pockets of west Pasadena known for its varied architecture, winding streets, secret stairs and proximity to favorite cafes, the local library, Eagle Rock, Highland Park and beyond, this one has it all.
