This corner unit is perhaps the best home in La Crescenta's Altura Gardens community because it has only one shared wall, and, at 720 square feet, it is larger than most models and comes with in-unit laundry, sizable pantry and large walk-in closet. It is also one of the very few with a private balcony (which appears bigger than some of the other ones, is a behind a tree, and is not on the first floor). Upon entering the attractive living/dining room with wood flooring, you are immediately drawn to the sliding door that leads to the aforementioned private balcony, wonderfully sheltered behind mature trees. The contemporary kitchen features quality cabinetry and Whirlpool range, fridge and dishwasher, and the large pantry. The spacious bedroom features a large walk-in closet. Other features of the unit include new paint in most of the unit and dual-pane windows and sliding door, as well as signs of the owner's care and maintenance of the unit. The community features a great pool, fitness center, sauna, outdoor recreation areas, tennis and basketball courts, and covered assigned parking with storage space. The location is great, and features award-winning La Crescenta schools K-12. Very reasonable $376.44 HOA fee.
