Beautiful Altadena Mid-Century

Welcome to a jaw-droppingly beautiful 1,832 square foot (assessed) Mid-Century ranch, on a 10,791 square foot Zen-like lot, in our verdant foothills. You enter the stunning residence, with a desirable open floor plan, via an inviting foyer that steps into the gorgeous living room. It has an expansive front window as well as an elegant, stacked stone fireplace, flanked by rich wood built-ins, that are topped by floating shelves. They create an idyllic spot to showcase your artistic treasures or photos. From there, you step into the central formal dining room that adjoins the remodeled kitchen with a charming breakfast area, a quaint desk, as well as stainless steel appliances, clear glass back splashes and gleaming, solid, quartz countertops, as well as an adjoining laundry room. In addition, there are three nicely-appointed bedrooms and two baths, including a light-filled primary suite, with a decorative fireplace of its own. One of the bedrooms is being used as a cozy family room so there are flexible uses for the space, as well. This all opens out to the enchanting gardens that surround the structure. Finally, there is a bonus 197 square foot artist’s studio, meditation den or office. There is a place for everything and everyone.

The magnificent lot is breathtaking and has been landscaped using California native plants. It is an oasis to behold, with no inch overlooked. It was planted to ensure that the house has picturesque views of the outdoors from almost every room. The backyard is a spa-like retreat with its numerous serene, seating areas, as well as the raised deck, sited beneath a stately Oak, that looks towards our majestic San Gabriel mountains rising in the distance. There is also a wide patio that is picture-perfect for entertaining friends or having quiet dinners under the stars. Other highlights include a child’s playhouse, a potting or storage shed, a fire-pit and numerous trees that filter the sunbeams. The environment is absolutely magical. There are hidden places throughout, welcoming moments of reflection in the shade-dappled lot, while viewing the vast beauty that surrounds. The opportunities abound in this architectural treasure ideally located in our sought-after foothill community. It is a marriage of all that Altadena is celebrated for—access to nature, incredible architecture and a neighborhood that makes you feel as if you are at an escape far, far away. In fact, there is a gate at the rear of the parcel leading out to what was the historic Mount Lowe Railway but it is now enjoyed as a scenic hiking trail. Don’t miss this truly special home that offers all the best amenities in an unparalleled location.
