Welcome to the Canyon Lighthouse. Nestled in the serene hills of Sierra Madre Canyon, 561 Alta Vista Drive is a beautifully reimagined Craftsman that seamlessly blends timeless architecture with modern elegance. Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, this one-of-a-kind residence maintains the soul of canyon living while offering the ease of contemporary upgrades. Set behind a gated brick and iron entry, the home is surrounded by mature trees, lush landscaping, and rustic details that create a true sense of retreat. The warm wood siding and custom windows set the tone for the intentional design that continues inside. The newly redesigned kitchen is a showpiece, featuring white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, brass hardware, a large island, and professional-grade appliances—all illuminated by oversized windows and skylights. The layout flows effortlessly into a sunken living room, grounded by wide-plank wood floors and a statement chandelier. A main-level half bath adds everyday convenience for guests and entertaining. The great room impresses with exposed wood beams, a striking river rock fireplace, and walls of wood-framed windows that bathe the home in natural light. Every detail has been considered to support comfort, functionality, and style. Step outside onto the expansive deck and take in panoramic views of treetops and canyon ridgelines—perfect for sunset wine, morning coffee, or gathering under the stars. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are en suites, including a generous primary suite with its own fireplace and bonus sitting area—ideal for a lounge, reading nook, or creative workspace. Additional upgrades include recessed lighting, dual-zone HVAC, and an attached 2-car garage with direct access. Beyond the home, enjoy the lifestyle that makes Sierra Madre Canyon so beloved. Walk to Mary’s Market for a casual bite, explore nearby Bailey Canyon Park and its scenic hiking trails, or take a short drive into charming Downtown Sierra Madre, filled with shops, dining, and community events.
