615 W Montecito Avenue

A stately Sycamore tree guards the entrance to this picturesque, 1928 Craftsman home with multiple income producing opportunities. A gracious veranda fronts the home while a wisteria vine-covered pergola anchors the east side and offers an intimate area for outdoor entertaining. Upon entering the main home, you experience a sense of quiet and unpretentious comfort. The well-polished hardwood floors reflect the warm glow of sunlight and the focal point of the living room is its generous fireplace. Original wood trim, plate and picture rails and a built-in buffet evidence the handmade craftsmanship and quality you’ve come to expect from an earlier era. A reverent renovation of the kitchen provides modern amenities while preserving its classic simplicity. The upper level offers a main bedroom with en-suite bath and dressing area. There are two additional bedrooms (one with a charming balcony overlooking the front yard) and a full bath. Attached to the main home with a separate entrance is a one bedroom apartment with a full kitchen and bath. It can be used as part of the main home or rented out. Lastly, a charming, two-story carriage house offers two bedrooms, full bath, kitchen, office, and living room with fireplace. The grounds are spacious and open with many options for gardening, entertaining or just relaxing while taking in its naturalistic of its many trees and plantings. This is a rare offering with unmatched character and charm in a most desirable area of Sierra Madre.
