This charming Craftsman style, mini-compound in the heart of La Crescenta is sited on a beautiful, 9,899 SF lot. The spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bath home has been thoughtfully updated and lovingly maintained. Perfect for entertaining, the openness of the floor plan downstairs creates a wonderful sense of volume, while the addition of a fabulous great-room with its dramatic beamed ceiling enhances the home's functionality immensely. Upstairs, you will find a large, primary bedroom with high, vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom with an oversized shower and jetted spa tub, a dedicated split HVAC system and a balcony that provides additional outdoor space overlooking an expansive backyard. A grassy area, just off of the kitchen leads to a covered patio with a delightful stone fireplace, concrete countertops and barbecue, perfect for al-fresco dining, summertime parties or just a quiet place to relax after a long day. Shoot some hoops as you head to the back of the property where you will find a small orchard with mature fruit trees (lemons, oranges, kumquats) and a garage that has been finished and offers exceptional bonus space. Its upstairs loft is roughly 375 SF and the large, downstairs area would make a great studio, workshop or ADU. Some recent enhancements include copper piping, re-lined sewer line, restored living room stone fireplace, tankless water heater with recirculating pump, water softener, reverse osmosis system, Nest thermostat, doorbell and surveillance cameras, Trex decking and much more. In the front yard, an impressive koi pond with stunning, nighttime lighting has been stocked with friendly fish who will happily greet you when you come home to 2832 Mayfield!
