Arroyo View Estates has a peaceful and tucked-away quality that is hard to find these days and this revamped mid-century Ranch home is the essence of life in the Estates - an evolution of 1960's modernist living in one of Highland Park's best-kept secrets bordering Pasadena and South Pasadena. The home is revealed by passing through the entry courtyard with its Zen garden feel and arriving at the double doors which open into the foyer with its original terrazzo intact. Bamboo floors and an impressive stone fireplace set the scene for the spacious open living/dining rooms which flow to the garden and rock waterfall fountain. The kitchen is a masterwork in the marriage of restoration and remodeling as the original cabinets glow with the attention of their new walnut stain complementingthe quartz counters and tile backsplash. A mudroom/laundry is conveniently located between kitchen and garage as well as a gem of a powder room. The private wing of the house accommodates the master bedroom with walk-in closet, stunning bathroom and sliding door which frames the garden, along with two roomy bedrooms and a stunningly chic full bath. Designer touches including Ann Sacks tile and Milgard windows and sliders, along with conscientious stylistic choices and upgrades delight the eye and highlight the indoor-outdoor mid-century-style living today's buyers are searching for. The energy of both the neighborhood and the house will be a joy to come home to every day.
