All the Details: 2914 Paraiso Way in La Crescenta

One of Robbyn Battles, The House Agent’s, newest listings is 2914 Paraiso Way in La Crescenta. This single-level home has three bedrooms, one bathroom, and 1,159 square feet. Built in 1947, it sits on a 6,668-square-foot lot with a detached two-car garage. The asking price is $985,000.

Here’s the quick takeaway. The house is move-in ready today, while the property leaves plenty of room for tomorrow. Update the existing home, explore an addition, investigate an ADU, or create more outdoor living space. This property offers more than one direction. Let’s get into all the details.

What makes 2914 Paraiso Way look like a classic La Crescenta home?

Before you even get inside, there’s a detail I hope the next owner notices. An original rock wall runs along the front portion of the property. If you know La Crescenta, you know the rocks. They are part of the history and character of our foothill community.

You’ll even hear a local nickname: Rock Crescenta. The original stonework gives 2914 Paraiso Way a piece of old La Crescenta character that’s difficult to recreate. Landscaping can change, and the house itself can evolve. I hope someone recognizes what’s already there and incorporates the rock wall into whatever comes next.

How much square footage does 2914 Paraiso Way in La Crescenta have?

2914 Paraiso Way has 1,159 square feet with three bedrooms and one bathroom. Everything is on one level. The home was built in 1947, and one detail I appreciate in homes from this era is an actual entryway.

Instead of opening the front door and immediately landing in the living room, you enter a small defined space. From there, the floor plan gives you direction toward the living area or the hallway and bedrooms.

The kitchen opens to a generously sized breakfast and dining area. That creates an easy connection between cooking and gathering. Windows across the back bring in natural light and views toward the Verdugo Mountains. The bathroom has also been recently updated in a simple, clean style.

A buyer could live in the home as it sits today while deciding what changes make sense later. There’s no need to have the entire plan figured out on day one.

Is 2914 Paraiso Way in La Crescenta a single-level home?

Yes. All three bedrooms, the bathroom, kitchen, dining area, and living spaces are contained within the home’s single-level, 1,159-square-foot floor plan. For someone specifically searching for a single-story home in La Crescenta, that detail matters.

The existing layout also gives a future owner room to rethink how the interior spaces connect. The kitchen, dining area, and living room could potentially become more open to one another as part of a future renovation.

Then your eye naturally moves toward the back of the house. The rear windows already orient the living spaces toward the Verdugo Mountains. A future owner could explore larger windows, doors, or a stronger connection to the backyard.

The existing floor plan gives you a starting point without determining what the finished home needs to become. You can make changes gradually or keep the layout much as it is.

Can I build an addition or ADU at 2914 Paraiso Way in La Crescenta?

This is one of the first questions I expect buyers to ask. The answer starts with how the house is positioned on its 6,668-square-foot lot. The existing home sits around the middle portion of the property, leaving space around the structure.

One possibility worth investigating is an addition toward the rear west side of the home. Another could involve the bedroom near the entry. A buyer may want to explore expanding that portion of the house to create a larger primary suite and another bathroom.

Then there’s the detached two-car garage. Its placement opens up a different conversation about a potential ADU. A buyer interested in additional living space has several possibilities to investigate rather than just one.

Additions and ADUs should never be assumed to be automatically permitted. Setbacks, allowable square footage, structural requirements, and permits must be investigated independently. Buyers should consult the appropriate professionals and governmental agencies before making plans based on a future improvement.

Could the detached two-car garage at 2914 Paraiso Way become an ADU?

The property includes a detached two-car garage, and its separation from the main house may catch the attention of buyers considering an ADU. The garage can also remain exactly what it is today, providing covered parking and storage away from the house.

A buyer could explore whether converting or replacing the structure with an ADU fits their plans and applicable regulations. For someone considering multigenerational living or separate living space, the existing configuration makes the question worth asking.

ADU feasibility, size, conversion requirements, and permitted uses should be independently verified. The key detail today is that a detached structure already exists, giving buyers another option to explore.

Does 2914 Paraiso Way have a large lot?

2914 Paraiso Way sits on a 6,668-square-foot lot. The 1,159-square-foot house sits on the lot, leaving outdoor space around the home. That can mean different things to different buyers.

One buyer may immediately start thinking about adding square footage. Another may decide the existing home is plenty and focus on outdoor living instead. With windows across the back and views toward the Verdugo Mountains, a deck or entertaining area could create a stronger connection between the house and yard.

Someone else may concentrate on landscaping, gardens, or simply preserving more open space. The lot doesn’t tell you what to do with it. It gives you room to decide what matters most to you.

Why could 2914 Paraiso Way work for several different kinds of buyers?

A first-time buyer may see an opportunity to purchase a three-bedroom, single-level home in La Crescenta. They could live in the house now and make improvements over time. They don’t need to tackle everything at once.

A move-up buyer may already know they want more square footage and begin investigating an addition. Someone interested in multigenerational living may focus on the detached garage and a possible ADU. Another buyer may intentionally want a smaller home and keep the existing footprint.

That’s why blank canvas works so well when describing this property. You aren’t starting with a house where someone else’s extensive renovation has already determined how every space should look and function. Different buyers can stand at 2914 Paraiso Way and see different possibilities.

What should buyers know about the location around 2914 Paraiso Way in La Crescenta?

The property itself is only part of the buying decision. You also need to understand where you’re going to live. 2914 Paraiso Way sits one block south of Orange Avenue in a central part of La Crescenta.

The surrounding streets are relatively flat, and Foothill Boulevard is nearby. Schools, grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, fitness studios, and the La Crescenta Library are all part of the surrounding community. Montrose, La Cañada, and access to the 210 Freeway are also close by.

I’ve put together a separate Community Life Around 2914 Paraiso Way guide because those details deserve their own story. Before deciding whether the house works for you, take a look at what surrounds it. See how easily you can get to the places that make up an ordinary week.

What does listing agent Robbyn Battles want buyers to know about 2914 Paraiso Way?

One word keeps coming back to me with this property: opportunity. An original La Crescenta rock wall sits across the front, and this three-bedroom home is move-in ready. Windows across the back look toward the Verdugo Mountains, while the lot and detached garage create additional possibilities to investigate.

More importantly, 2914 Paraiso Way doesn’t require every buyer to have the same vision. One buyer may make a few changes and keep the home small. Another may add an ADU or use the property in an entirely different way.
