Great family home that needs some TLC. This home has been in the same family for almost 50 years. Great potential!! This spacious mid-century modern home designed by Gisela Meier in 1958 is located in the Altadena foothills surrounded by other prestigious homes. It sits on an over 30,000 square foot fenced lot (almost ¾ of an acre) shaded by mature trees including large oaks, fruit trees and established landscaping. Set far back from the street, this secluded property has multiple units on site and has not been on the market for almost 50 years. The main home boasts mid-century modern flair with an open floorplan, original exposed beam ceilings, vintage-brick fireplace, indoor BBQ, numerous skylights, wood floors and a massive open main room with high ceilings and a glass wall looking out onto the mature garden and brick patio. The main home has two bedrooms, a den that could be used as a third bedroom, two full bathrooms, a dining room, an expansive sunroom, updated central air and heat and a large, attached garage. There is plenty of storage space throughout the home. In addition to the main house, the property has a one bedroom, 3/4 bath guest house with kitchen, an additional separate office/workshop that has its own 3/4 bath and a separate tool shed/workshop on what was formerly “horse” property. This one of a kind property feels like being in a private forest but is minutes from the city and close to Eaton Canyon.
