About This Home

As of March 2025

This enchanting traditional home, graciously sited on a gentle knoll is perfectly located close to the Altadena Town & Country Club. There is a charming brick front porch and the front door opens to a proper entry with dining room to the right and living room to the left. The generously-sized living room features a stately brick fireplace with original built-ins on either side and a beautiful south-facing window, that overlooks recently updated drought tolerant front landscape. Across the hall, the sunny dining room also has views of the front yard. The adjacent kitchen has warm Saltillo tile floors and rich cobalt tile counters and features a light filled breakfast nook. Beyond the kitchen is the laundry room, a 3/4 bath, and a small bonus room that makes an ideal office. The west side of the house contains the private quarters and features 3 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, including a large main bedroom with direct access to the office and a sliding door to the backyard. The remaining two bedrooms are well proportioned and the hall bath is thoughtfully situated between them. The substantial backyard has beautiful mountain views and there are endless possibilities for landscaping or to create your own urban farm. Completing the property is a detached garage that was converted by the current owner to a bonus room. Finally at the NE corner of the property is a tuff-shed that was used as an art studio. This inviting home has been well cared for and is the type of property that has space for everything. This is a wonderful opportunity to live in this outstanding Altadena neighborhood.
