About This Home

As of July 2020

This magnificent Altadena estate is on the market for the first time in 56 years. Owned by a Caltech professor and an artist, this beloved property offers many mature trees, natural beauty and privacy. There are two houses: a 1931 classic Spanish Colonial Revival (4718 sq. ft.) and a charming 1909 Victorian cottage (892 sq. ft.) with a separate street address and utilities. The main house, designed by Architects Ashton & Denney, boasts amazing original features, top-tier materials and uncommon attention to detail. Hand-stenciled wood ceilings, custom wrought ironwork, steel casement windows, hand-painted Davies and McDonald Spanish tile and thick plaster walls all exude quality construction and structural integrity. A formal entry leads to a grand living room with a dramatic wood-beam ceiling, French doors and large arched picture window. A formal dining room, featuring a wrought iron chandelier and lovely garden views, connects to a butler's pantry and bright kitchen. A den/library, breakfast room, and two en-suite bedrooms are also on the main floor. Upstairs are two large en-suite bedrooms with dressing rooms and balconies. Below the living room is a large finished room with a fireplace and light-welled windows perfect for a media or recreation room.
