Light-filled rooms and stunning views meet a luxurious interior of bespoke design elements. Kitchen, dining, and living share one open main floor, and the owners have invested nearly $70,000 in improvements since 2021, starting with a 9.86 kW solar array.

The resident-only recreation center, with lap and wading pools, spa, a fully equipped gym, clubhouse, and fireside terrace, is a one-minute walk across the street.

Inside, a cook's island and pantry anchor the kitchen end, with crown molding, paneled walls, and wood-look porcelain tile carrying through and a pale stone gas fireplace at the far wall, lit with a single switch. A huge under-stair storage room sits off the kitchen, alongside a half bath and interior entry from the garage, and audio runs through the main floor, hall, and primary suite.

Upstairs, a full-size laundry room sits between the primary retreat and the other three bedrooms. North- and south-facing windows flood the primary bedroom with natural light, and the bath is infused with it from south-facing windows of its own. The suite includes crown molding, a huge walk-in with custom closet organizers, a soaking tub, separate shower, twin basins, and a seated makeup station. Of the three additional bedrooms, two look straight out at the mountains and one has its own walk-in. Four bedrooms and three baths in all.

The solar is not leased and carries no PPA. Twenty-five months of metered Azusa Light & Water bills put electricity roughly 59% lower — about $2,540 a year, $5,290 saved to date — with full documentation provided. A ChargePoint Level 2 charger (J1772) in the garage runs an EV on what the roof makes.

The owners also added light tinting to the south-facing windows, which lets the light through while holding back the heat and keeps the house comfortable year-round. Also: softened water throughout, an upgraded electrical panel, on-demand hot water, fresh carpet, a quiet-lift garage opener, and outlets run to the rooflines for holiday lighting. A 2022 yard renovation added synthetic turf and a spacious patio with mounted TV, opening directly off the kitchen.

Rosedale is a master-planned community built into the base of the San Gabriel foothills, with parks, walking trails, and amenities kept for residents. The Metro A Line, the 210, Azusa Pacific, Citrus College, Costco, and the full run of shopping and dining are all minutes from the door.
