About This Home
As of May 2025This updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath Tudor-style cottage is tucked behind privacy hedges and mature trees, offering a peaceful, fully gated retreat just a short stroll from Christmas Tree Lane and the historic Altadena Library. Inside, period details like a formal arched entry, barrel ceilings, hardwood floors and a decorative fireplace add character, while the layout offers comfort and functionality. The dining area flows into a spacious, light-filled kitchen featuring wood countertops, a farmhouse sink, and stainless steel appliances. A sunny family room just off the kitchen provides a relaxed space to unwind or gather. The primary suite is a calm, airy space with a modern ensuite bath. A second bedroom is roomy and enjoys garden views. The upstairs bedroom is bright, private and versatile. Two upstairs bonus rooms (not included in the square footage) is perfect for an office, studio, or creative space. Additional highlights include central air, solar panels, a dedicated laundry room with washer/dryer with generous storage. Outside, enjoy a grassy front yard shaded by mature foliage and a private back deck ideal for dining or relaxing outdoors. The detached garage has been converted into a spacious studio, perfect for remote work or flexible use.
