2936 Sycamore Avenue, La Crescenta, CA 91214

This cottage is truly one of the darlings of La Crescenta. Nestled in the Sycamore Woods neighborhood that saw its first homes in the early 20's, this area is dotted with cottages that were built by Los Angeles residents for weekend escapes from the hustle and bustle of busy L.A. With one bedroom, one bath - 480 square feet upstairs and another approx 490 square feet downstairs, 2936 Sycamore exudes an intriguing mix of cottage charm with a contemporary twist that integrates lighting, color and symmetry. Just off the bedroom is a quaint sitting room perfect for cozy evenings. French doors open directly to a private garden perfect for entertaining under the twinkle lights and stars above. Upstairs you will find original wood floors, a 'one-spin' kitchen adjacent to the dining room, living room with windows that let in tons of light and bathroom with pedestal sink and wainscoting. Just imagine those days-gone-by and the long trip from L.A. to this serene spot where residents came to fish, catch polliwogs, picnic and relax. It was magical then -- and today, this darling cottage retains all that magic and charm -- just minus the polliwogs.
