809 Skyland Drive is a rare foothill residence that pairs thoughtful updates with expansive views. Approaching the home you’re greeted by an entry patio fitted with glass panels that frame the vista and set a refined tone. The living room is anchored by a dramatic picture window and a gas fireplace with glass-rock fire bed and Japanese INAX stack-stone — a design-forward focal point that complements the engineered wood flooring on the lower level.
The kitchen, remodeled in 2014, is configured for function and entertaining: a center island with gas cooktop, granite counters, a walk-in pantry, breakfast counter and a dedicated coffee/works station. Sliding doors from the dining area lead to a side patio that’s ideal for grilling and easy outdoor flow. Upstairs, the primary suite is generous in scale and thoughtfully appointed — space for a sitting area, a second fireplace with INAX stone, a private balcony overlooking quiet natural scenery, and a California Closets–designed walk-in closet plus shoe closet. The primary bath features dual sinks, a soaking tub and a TOTO Washlet for modern convenience.
Other practical upgrades include double-paned casement windows (2014), a skylight in the stairwell, hard‑wired security (inactive), and both drip and sprinkler irrigation for the landscaped exterior. Storage is abundant: custom cabinetry in the oversized two-car garage, a 3.5' x 12' under-stairs closet, and a laundry room positioned for convenience with a glass door that brightens the space. The garage is pre-wired for an EV charger — a ready feature for today’s buyers.
This home suits buyers who want move-in readiness, a lock-and-leave lifestyle with low-maintenance landscaping, and the unbeatable combination of foothill serenity plus proximity to Sierra Madre Village shops, cafes, and trailheads.
