About This Home

As of June 2025

Elegant Spanish Revival with Modern Amenities and Breathtaking ViewsOriginally built in 1926 and thoughtfully expanded and rebuilt in 2003, this stunning Spanish-style home in Altadena offers the perfect blend of timeless character and modern comforts. With 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, plus versatile bonus spaces, this property is ideal for those seeking style, space, and flexibility.As you walk towards the elegant front entrance and pass the courtyard, you will go in through the double doors and step into the inviting living room, where an arched window frames views of the beautifully landscaped front yard, and a brick-faced fireplace adds warmth and charm. The formal dining room flows seamlessly into a chef's kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, the tiled backsplash featuring decorative tiles, a large center island, and a bar--ideal for both casual dining and entertaining.Downstairs, you'll find a guest bedroom and full bath, a spacious family room with built-ins, and a dedicated home office featuring custom cabinetry and a built-in desk. A charming nook beneath the stairs is perfect as an open music room or reading space.Upstairs features three additional bedrooms, including a primary suite with an en-suite bath, double sinks, and a large shower, and a separate tub. Just outside the primary is an expansive deck that offers sweeping views of the San Gabriel Mountains--a perfect retreat morning or night. A den/playroom with a closet provides even more flexibility and could easily serve as a fifth bedroom.The exterior is just as impressive, with an electric gated driveway lined with blooming roses leading to a 2-car garage and a bonus room/workshop. The backyard is your personal oasis with a covered patio, outdoor kitchen, sparkling pool and spa, and lush landscaping accented by more vibrant roses.From curb appeal, meticulously maintained flowers, to mountain views, this home truly has it all. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Altadena charm reimagined for modern living.The seller is retiring and leaving the area, and has been planning this transition for two years. They have put their hearts into making this house a lovely retreat, and wish the new owner enjoys this beautiful house.
