1953 Mid-century ranch rambler located on a secluded knoll in the Altadena foothills is ready to make home feel a lot like vacation. Charming like a cabin with a warm woodsy glow but unmistakably hip with obvious Mid-century flair, this unique character home is ready to sweep you off your feet. Walls of glass with green leafy views offer plentiful sunlight and mingle the natural setting with the cozy interior. Soaring tongue and groove beamed ceilings add to the airy refreshing vacation feel. Offering big sky and mountain views, the 20,000+ square foot lot is home to towering mature trees, a pond, chicken coop, vegetable garden, full playhouse and a carpet of grassy lawn. Welcome home to Altadena. Hidden in plain sight, up a seemingly secret private roadway off Loma Alta Drive, sits a rare private retreat. From the sleek brushed brass hardware on the fluted wood front door to the gleaming hardwoods, rustic flagstone and walls of windows, this house boasts stylish and original finishes that feel evocative, artistic, and unique. Inside, just-updated-enough spaces retain original midcentury integrity but also feel modern and elevated. Gleaming hardwood floors throughout are complimented by muted, organic color palette and in the entry and dining room, with window walls to glorious backyard garden views. Kitchen with tile countertops and special brass hardware on original cabinetry boasts a fabulous built-in banquette, a cool nostalgic throwback alongside architectural room divider shelving. Kitchen flows into den with wall of windows looking out to the front yard, and living room with quintessential 1950s wood paneling, vaulted beamed ceiling and stacked stone fireplace wall. A striking powder bath off the living room is adjacent to the modern organic primary suite with cork flooring, vaulted wood ceilings, french doors and ensuite full bath with custom tile work and clawfoot tub. West wing of the house offers three additional bedrooms, each enjoying plentiful natural light and views, as well as an another stylish full bath. The indoor-outdoor lifestyle here cannot be overstated: there are so many points of access to the outside from the house, and the south patio off the dining room is a revelation: relax and enjoy weekend brunch or twilight dinner under the pergola, where you can take in treetop views with the backdrop of birdsong and owl calls, depending on the time of day. Inside and out, this rare property is all Altadena vibes.
