If you could drop a pin right in the heart of La Crescenta, 2914 Paraiso Way would be pretty close to the bullseye.

Modern, traditional, cottage-inspired, or something completely your own, 2914 Paraiso Way lets you decide.Inside, everything is neat, clean, and freshly painted. A formal entry leads into a comfortable floor plan with three bedrooms, a good-sized kitchen and a separate eating area.

Rosemont Middle School and Monte Vista Elementary are nearby, the Verdugo Mountains create the backdrop, and the central location makes getting around town remarkably easy.2914 Paraiso Way isn't telling you what it should become.
