About This Home
As of March 2024WATCH Video/Explore 3D Virtual Tour! Welcome to this dreamy mid-century modern single story home in Altadena with three beds, two baths and features contemporary updates alongside original details. This home is nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic for a serene retreat away from the hustle of LA. Every surface has been painstakingly remodeled with details such as luxurious 6 inch engineered hardwood floors, new fixtures and lighting throughout, new windows, and fresh paint inside and out. There are so many spaces that offer their own unique experience. As you step into the living room through the modern glass-paneled front door, an oversized wood mantel hovers over the wood burning fireplace for cozy winter evenings. In the center of the home, the kitchen makes it a breeze to host, with a wraparound quartz counter, wide sink and breakfast bar. With soft-close drawers, tiled backsplash and stainless steel appliances, preparing meals become cherished memories in this space. The dining room features acoustic wood paneling and large picture window for an elegant ambience. In the family room, keep spaces tidy with a built-in bench and coat nook next to the rear entrance, and the laundry room disappears when the door is shut. Bask in the warmth of the sunroom adjacent to the family room with frosted skylights and large windows for your greenery. The bathrooms have also been reinvented with designer vanities and bespoke tiling. The bedrooms are generously sized, with room to add a desk or reading corner. Enjoy great curb appeal with hassle-free landscaping and manicured grass with automatic sprinklers. The long driveway features additional parking under the covered carport and leads to a 2-car garage, a covered pergola and a side yard with lawn and mature fruit trees with private green space. Set in a fantastic location just south of Loma Alta Drive, it is walking distance to Loma Alta Park and a few minutes drive from popular hiking and biking trails, Amara Cafe, Cafe de Leche, Miya, the Rancho, Unincorporated Coffee Roasters and much more.
