This gracious three bedroom, two bath 1,688 square foot (measured) Spanish, with an expansive 402 square foot (measured) detached bonus office or family room, sits on a quiet cul-de-sac in the beautiful Altadena foothills. The gated property invites you in with a romantic, walled courtyard that is framed by blooming bougainvillea. The Saltillo covered patio steps up to the front door that opens into the elegant interior that has been painstakingly remodeled. The gorgeous living room features gleaming hardwood floors, a central decorative fireplace with artisan tile, an enchanting rich wood mantle, a tray ceiling, recessed lighting and a large front window that frames views of our majestic San Gabriel Mountains rising in the distance. In addition, there is an inviting formal dining room, as well as a picture-perfect, renovated kitchen with butcher block counters, floating stainless steel shelving, an oversized farmhouse sink, a coffee station or wet bar, custom white cabinetry, as well as a quaint breakfast nook. Not to be missed are the three bedrooms, with two spa-like baths, including a spacious primary suite that has a bonus bump-out, as well as an attached, elegantly updated bath. This space, all in the back of the home, has an area that would work equally well as a second closet or a kitchenette so that this wing of the house could be used as a separate living space. It is easily accessed via its own private entrance off the rear of the home. Finally, there is a fantastic bonus room off the garage that has tall glass doors, an ornamental stone fireplace, skylights and a soaring vaulted ceiling. It is stunning and offers limitless possibilities.
The residence, built in 1927, is sited on a deep 6,417 square foot parcel and has been landscaped to offer idyllic, magazine-worthy curb appeal. The front yard beckons you in with its verdant lawn bordered by colorful annuals and the backyard is a welcoming spot to dine or relax with several entertaining areas, as well as a finely groomed bocce ball court. There is something for everyone. This is truly a wonderful place to call home. Don’t miss this shining jewel in our celebrated foothill community.
