Property Description
Step into a home that feels like a piece of Altadena's history, where timeless midcentury design meets modern living. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence rests on a large, private lot and embodies the spirit of the community: authentic, inviting, and full of character. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with hardwood floors that stretch throughout, carrying sunlight from one room to the next. Generous windows invite natural light to pour in, giving every space a bright yet cozy atmosphere while framing the incredible mountain view in the living room.Original details are lovingly preserved, offering a rare glimpse into an era when homes were crafted with care. The kitchen and bathrooms feature beautiful midcentury ceramic tile, each pattern a subtle reminder of the home's roots. These touches, combined with the home's graceful flow and thoughtful design, create an environment that is both functional and soulful.The living areas feel connected and open, making the home ideal for gatherings while still offering quiet corners to retreat to. Off the back of the house, an enclosed porch extends the living space and invites you to slow down, whether enjoying your morning coffee, curling up with a book, or simply gazing out over the yard. Step outside to the sprawling, fully fenced backyard, a private haven with endless possibilities. The mature orange tree produces hundreds of oranges every winter. There's space for gardening, outdoor dining, play, or even future expansions, all framed by the mature beauty of Altadena's natural setting.An oversized 2.5-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, storage, and hobbies, offering flexibility that's hard to find in many homes.What truly sets this property apart is not just the house itself, but what it represents. This is not a generic build stripped of personality. It is an original Altadena bungalow, a home that reflects the character and soul of its community. It's a place where history and comfort intersect, where the story of the neighborhood continues through the generations who live here. More than a house, it's a chance to be part of Altadena's enduring narrative, a community known for its charm, its pride, and its rare ability to feel like home the moment you arrive.
