1621 Arapaho Mountain Pass

Saturday morning. Coffee in hand, shoes on, and you're out the back gate before anyone has even finished deciding what to do today. The trail is right there, the South Fork San Gabriel River is nearby, and your morning walk doesn't require loading everyone into the car first. Add a cul-de-sac location and a greenbelt lot, and the hardest part might be convincing yourself to come back inside.

Welcome to 1621 Arapaho Mountain Pass in Valley Vista. This 1,476-square-foot home offers three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and an upgraded feel with luxury vinyl plank flooring and five-panel interior doors. All three bedrooms are on the same floor, keeping the layout practical, while the detached two-car garage opens up some interesting possibilities. Want a home gym that can get loud, a workshop for weekend projects, or even a garage band? You can make some noise without waking up the whole house. Its position toward the rear of the property also leaves you with a longer-than-usual driveway and more parking than you might expect.

Out back, the greenbelt setting puts walking trails just beyond your own gate, with the South Fork San Gabriel River nearby for even more opportunities to get outside. And if your four-legged family members are part of the equation, Mercy Veterinary Hospital is a short walk away and offers boarding services for those times when you're heading out of town. It's a home that combines everyday practicality with a little more room to enjoy the outdoors, all in a setting that makes getting outside about as easy as it gets.
