Set high on a hill in the exclusive Montecito Park enclave of Glendale, this highly sought-after neighborhood has it all, with quiet, serene living centrally located minutes from the lure of all a major metropolis has to offer... downtown Los Angeles with its art and architecture, Hollywood/Burbank as the entertainment capital of the world and Pasadena/San Gabriel with its restaurants and nightlife. Finally Montrose just blocks away, with its small-town Americana feel and lovely farmer's market, shops like Once Upon A Time (the oldest children's bookstore in the U.S.), and scrumptious local eateries like Berolina Bakery, La Cabanita and Black Cow! Welcome home to 2101 El Arbolita, a fully-reimagined 3 bedroom/2 bath traditional set on a very private, over 14,000sf lot! As you enter the gracious foyer, you'll step down to a spacious living room with brick fireplace that leads seamlessly to the remodeled kitchen/dining area, with slider access to a charming side yard patio to enjoy your al fresco meals and magical mountain views. A large primary suite with double closets, and 2 more rooms sharing a bath, one of which could be a home office with its own covered patio for taking a peaceful break from work's demands. The attached, two-car garage and lovely secluded backyard, with the surrounding hillsides embracing you, make this a forever home you won't want to miss! And don't forget that as part of the award-winning, Blue Ribbon schools in the La Crescenta pocket of the Glendale Unified School District, this property delivers a world-class, tuition-free education! Finally, just moments from the scenic Angeles National Forest and its majestic hiking trails -- not to mention around the corner delightful Descanso Gardens, elegant Oakmont Country Club, youth athletic fields and renowned USC Keck Verdugo Hills Hospital -- 2101 El Arbolita offers a prime location with the perfect balance of peaceful, private serenity and cosmopolitan convenience and culture.
