About This Home
As of September 2024This 1917 Craftsman bungalow is situated on a friendly block in central Altadena, boasting views of the San Gabriel mountains and palm trees. Classic river rock pillars welcome you onto a peaceful front porch, set back from the large, flat, grassy front yard. The home maintains its original hardwood floors and river rock fireplace, while the floor plan has been opened up for a brighter and more contemporary feel. In addition to the main home's three bedrooms, the spacious den offers extra space to relax and the California basement gives you extra storage. The main home's deck looks out over the generously sized pool and spa, and across the way is an adorable and independent guest house. The guest house features two entrances, offering privacy for you and your guests, and direct access to the pool. 2081 Lewis Ave is conveniently located and nearby neighborhood favorites like Cafe de Leche, Miya on Lake, The Rancho, Amara Kitchen, Altadena Beverage, Seed Bakery, Roma Market, and a wide variety of hiking trails to the north and shopping and dining options to the south.
