Set on one of Altadena's most beloved streets just off Christmas Tree Lane, this 1930s home is tucked behind a pair of ancient twisted cypress and a garden of tree roses, citrus, and Japanese maples. Inside, rooms are full of light and quiet character, where original details meet a fresh, carefully layered update. The living room draws you in first with its coved ceilings, central fireplace, and a wall of French windows that spill afternoon light across refinished oak floors. The adjoining dining room opens to a covered side porch, a natural place to slow down. The kitchen has been taken down to the studs and rebuilt with St. Martin walnut cabinets, Taj Mahal stone from Brazil, new oak flooring, all new appliances, and a bar with wine fridge. Three bedrooms line a quiet hall, including a primary with a generous new closet and a marble hallway bath with double vanity. A third bedroom enjoys its own ensuite, while a breakfast room at the back doubles as an office or den with access to a California basement. Out back, mature citrus shades a brick patio and outdoor fireplace, framed by fresh landscaping and new custom metal fencing. A long drive leads to a detached two car garage with high ceilings and real ADU potential above. Physically untouched by the Eaton fire, the home was carefully cleaned, encapsulated, and professionally tested. A full record of remediation is available on request.
