Sweet! Ensconced behind a partial screen of Jacaranda and Bottlebrush trees, this 1925 Bungalow is rich with charm and curb appeal. From its classic clapboard wood siding and wide front porch with sheltered entry, to the thoughtfully updated interior and the deep backyard with mountain views, this home wins the life-style game. Step through the fairytale arbor at the front gate to be welcomed by lovely, established landscaping and a sweet, secure front yard. Inside, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home retains some lovely elements of 1920s character, including the decorative fireplace tile surround and richly hued hardwood floors, while enjoying an open-plan flow from living room to dining and kitchen. Primary bedroom offers two large closets, and an updated en-suite 3/4 bath with dual sink vanity. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath with a fabulous deep tub. Natural light abounds from all directions through dual-pane Milgard windows -- the view from the kitchen sink to the back yard is leafy and serene. Updated kitchen features energy star GE appliances and rich-toned floating shelves. Don't miss the wine fridge tucked under the breakfast bar. Pass through the back door to a backyard oasis with lovely shade from mature trees, raised bed herb garden, compost bin, 360SF creative space carport, and gorgeous mountain views framed by shocking pink bougainvillea and towering cactus. Just moments from the Hahamonga Watershed and Millard Canyon Trails, Restaurants, Coffee and Loma Alta Park, this home is convenient to all of Altadena's recreation and life-style amenities. Enjoy!
