About This Home
As of June 2022Welcome to this historic 1889 Altadena treasure that was relocated to its current, sought-after location one hundred years later in the 1980s. The four bedroom, three bathroom 2,707 SF Victorian Farmhouse has been beautifully redone with exquisite finishes throughout. The house invites you in with a glass paneled front door, a regal foyer and tall ceilings. The expansive lower level includes a spacious living room, a family room area, a ground floor bedroom or office, an elegant dining room and a light-filled, remodeled, gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is state-of-the art and has custom cabinetry, a full-length center island, a Wolf range and an incredible glass fronted refrigerator. This kitchen is not to be missed and is a true showstopper! The upper story features a serene master suite, with a spa-like bathroom, as well as two additional bedrooms that share a newly renovated bathroom with lovely fixtures and tile. The residence includes stunning, private 867 SF guest quarters over the garage. The space was designed to allow tree top views out every window and to highlight the beautiful surroundings. The guest unit beckons you in with a vaulted ceiling, two balconies, gleaming hardwood floors, built in cabinetry, French doors and so much more. Please note that the guest quarters does not have a kitchen but is permitted. It is amazing to behold and overlooks the park-like yard with a raised deck, a tranquil pool, a bubbling hot tub and a trickling waterfall, all lined with hand-selected masonry. Wrapping the pool is an outdoor kitchen and patio that is sited under a pergola as well as mature trees that offer shaded seating areas that are perfect for both relaxing with family or entertaining friends. There is also an additional pool bathroom off the patio. No detail has been missed!There are numerous upgrades and period details, including gleaming wood floors, deep crown moldings, French doors, as well as a stately central staircase that connects the two floors with its solid craftsmanship and wide landings. All these desirable interior amenities are married with the picture-perfect exterior that offers idyllic curb appeal with its circular driveway, a picket fence lined with white roses, a wide front porch and an automatic gate that leads to the two-car garage. This is a truly magnificent estate property in our area's finest neighborhood. Don't miss this crown jewel in our foothills!
