Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a well-maintained 1925 cottage that is move-in ready but shows significant signs of being outdated. While the interior is clean with well-kept hardwood floors, the kitchen retains vintage yellow tile and older cabinetry, and the home utilizes dated wall heaters and window AC units instead of modern central HVAC. The property has been maintained through regular upkeep rather than a comprehensive recent renovation.
The property features a bright, detached bonus room with its own bathroom, providing an ideal setup for a home office, creative studio, or guest quarters separate from the main living area.
Situated on a desirable flat street, the home offers excellent walkability and proximity to top-rated schools, the La Crescenta Library, and local shopping, making daily errands highly convenient.
Built in 1925, the residence retains significant character with its wide front porch, mountain views, hardwood floors, and a classic vintage-tiled kitchen that appeals to buyers seeking a unique alternative to modern condos.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 828, other record living area = 616. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
At just 828 square feet, the main living space is quite compact, which may pose challenges for buyers with large furniture or those requiring more expansive indoor common areas.
Given the home's 1920s origin, buyers should anticipate potential needs for ongoing maintenance or system updates common in century-old properties to ensure long-term efficiency.
If this home could talk, here's what 2843 Los Olivos Lane in La Crescenta would say. I know exactly who I'm meant for. I'm for the buyer who wants a home of their own, not a condo. Someone who values privacy, charm, and independence. I'm perfect for a first-time buyer ready to put down roots, for someone who works from home and needs a dedicated office, or for a traveler who wants a low-maintenance one-level house with real character to come home to. I may be small, but I offer space where it matters, and I do it with warmth and personality. I was built in the 1920s, and I wear that history proudly. My wide front porch is where mornings begin and evenings slow down, with views of the Verdugo Mountains as a daily reminder of where you live. Inside, I offer a cozy living room with hardwood floors, two comfortable bedrooms, and a kitchen filled with vintage yellow tile and a sweet eating nook that feels timeless and personal, not manufactured. One of my favorite things about myself is my versatility. Along with my one-car garage, I come with a bright, window-filled detached bonus room with its own bath. Office, studio, creative space, or guest room, I adapt to your life. Attached to that is a full laundry room with excellent storage, another example of how thoughtfully my spaces have been designed and maintained over the years. Out front, I'm framed by a charming rock wall, a productive lemon tree, and a backyard with a private patio that's just right for pets and easy outdoor living. My street is one of the flatter stretches of La Crescenta, ideal for gentle walks and everyday routines without hills getting in the way. And when it comes to location, I quietly shine. I'm close to Rosemont Middle School, Monte Vista Elementary, Crescenta Valley High School, the La Crescenta Library, Ralphs grocery store, and nearby bus stops, making daily life simple and connected without sacrificing the feeling of having your own little place in the world. I may be compact, but I'm confident in who I am and who I'm meant for. If you've been looking for a home that feels personal, manageable, and full of quiet charm, I've been waiting for you.
