4105 Aralia Rd Altadena, CA 91001

Sweetheart Storybook Ranch in Altadena's coveted Meadows offers views and lifestyle! This delightfully updated 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath home with large bonus sunroom and charming gardens is the perfect blend of old and new. We love the warm and welcoming 1956 vibes on the exterior with a sharp pitched roofline boasting swooping gables that almost touch the ground, and the classic board and batten siding and crisp shutters -- it appeals to creative fantasy, like a delightful human-scale birdhouse. Inside, this home has been reimagined for modern life, with an expansive entry and fabulous just-open-enough floor plan that connects foyer, dining, kitchen and living spaces. There are updates everywhere here - both to systems and to finishes and fixtures. Dual-pane windows offer boundless natural light, fresh flooring in warm wood tones flows seamlessly throughout. Two generous bedrooms, both with updated ensuite baths, enjoy lovely garden and mountain views. Truly, there is a view from every window in the house, whether to the San Gabriel mountains or the lush landscaped gardens with fragrant gardenias and fruiting citrus trees. Striking veined quartz countertops and waterfall island are statement-making in the kitchen, and compliment stainless steel range, fridge and dishwasher. Entertain indoors, or pass through the spacious sunroom to the patio (complete with moveable firepit!) and lush leafy backyard. Powder bath and mudroom with laundry are conveniently located off the kitchen and adjacent to the attached full-sized two car garage with Tesla charger powered by solar. For the adventurers, this property is convenient to trails and the Angeles National Forest -- if you roll your windows down on the way through the canyon when approaching the property, you'll hear the snowmelt stream flowing down the mountains and through Millard Canyon. For the homebody, the quiet offered here is something to be treasured.
