20523 Tiara St

Perched at the peak of Tiara Street overlooking the San Gabriel Mountains is this 1957 Ranch home with courtyard, pool and views. Privacy from the street is enhanced by the courtyard wall with gated entry creating a peaceful area to enjoy your garden with your morning beverage beneath the shade of a healthy lemon tree. Enter the home over a limestone tile to be greeted by the strikingly restored original 50's wood paneling. The living room's vaulted ceilings are anchored by a Roman Clay fireplace with a honed marble tile hearth and direct access to the backyard. The chef's kitchen has been updated with a Zellige tile backsplash, new appliances and a serving peninsula that doubles as an informal dining table. Bathrooms have been reimagined with terrazzo and Kit Kat tiles, with clever storage design in the showers and brush brass fixtures. All four bedrooms are sunny with vaulted ceilings with carefully chosen sconces and lighting. The primary has exterior access to the courtyard patio. The room staged as an office opens to the backyard. The owners were smitten with the home for its ideal blend character, functional floor plan and natural light. Recently upgraded with new HVAC, 200 Amp panel, energy-efficient windows and doors, a resurfaced/retiled pool, floors, lighting, irrigation, driveway, finished two-car garage and improved drainage. Drought tolerant landscaping in both front and backyard and two-car garage that opens to the kitchen with additional two-car off street parking further adds to convenient living. This labor of love is priced to sell.
