501 Woodland Drive, Sierra Madre, CA 91024

Perched atop a grassy knoll in the heart of the famed Sierra Madre Canyon, sits the aptly named “Empire Cottage at the Spring”. As you meander up your own stairway to heaven, the gentle sounds of a year-round, running stream set the mood for an unbelievable experience. Exhale deeply at the top of the path as you take in the sights and sounds of this immensely private and personal paradise. Lush landscaping, hand-built stone walls and a quaint bridge greet you at the entrance of this enchanted cottage. At the front door, pull the chain to hear the chimes of an ancient doorbell and step inside a world of magic. An impressive chandelier and built-in cabinetry grace the entry which opens on to a storybook living room complete with batten board walls and a massive stone fireplace. The kitchen and the third bedroom/family room await the finishing touches that will bring these rooms to full completion. In addition, there is a newer, full bath on this level. Climb the well-worn stairway to the second level with two bedrooms, a three-quarter bath, and a laundry room with built-in ironing board. Updated infrastructure includes copper plumbing, new electrical, central air and heat and a sewer connection. The property consists of two separate parcels and offers a myriad of options to enhance or expand this historic and coveted oasis.
