About This Home
Updated mid-century ranch with stunning mountain views in the heart of Altadena. This elegant home blends classic mid-century ranch charm with the new construction lifestyle upgrades. Elevated from the street past a gentle slope of sculptural grasses, the home appeals with timeless board-on-board siding and an elegant organic color palette. Warm olive and hazelnut tones enhance oak and brass finishes at the entry to welcoming effect. Inside, natural light abounds in living spaces defined by rich-hued wide-plank floors and sophisticated earthy finishes. Public rooms here have an easy flow between the den, living room, adjacent kitchen and dining room, with views and access to the back yard. Stylish elements include brass finishes, decorative fireplace and distinctive light fixtures. The sleek kitchen features a generous center island with breakfast bar seating, stainless steel appliances, handsome cabinetry and tile backsplash in earthy teak and ocean blue green shades. Stylish surfaces and sliding doors to the covered back patio elevate everyday living to high-end southern California lifestyle. Private spaces are serene, including a spacious primary suite with spa-like bath boasting walk-in shower and dual sink vanity. Two additional bedrooms on the north side of the home are generously sized, and share the contemporary full bath. Outside, the lush grassy backyard is an ideal entertaining space complete with a covered patio, outdoor serving bar and stunning mountain views. A separate finished two-car garage offers versatility -- it's an ideal finished space for parking, a workshop, home gym, or studio. With updated systems throughout, this move-in-ready home balances character, comfort, and proximity to favorite spots in Altadena, from historic Christmas Tree Lane, fine dining at Betsy, fun times at Good Neighbor Bar, excellent coffee shops, libraries and access to nature.
