Tucked into large, lush, corner lot at the end of a quiet street, this romantic Cottage hideaway is full of mid-century character and warmth, while still just minutes from the charming center of Altadena, Farnsworth Park, and popular hiking at Cobb Estate and Cheney Trail . Retaining the vintage character of 1947 and wrapping around its impressive crafted stone decorative fireplace, the home has hardwood floors, arched doorways and many architectural touches. The living room showcases the fireplace and is bathed in natural light from 3 sides and includes recessed lighting, and some updated windows. The cozy formal dining room features double doors opening to the wood covered dining patio. The charming eat-in kitchen has stone tile countertops and full height backsplash, original wood cabinetry, recessed lighting, a double sink with views to the garden and a divine breakfast nook with corner window views of the expansive yard and glimpses of the San Gabriel Mountains. The main bedroom sits quietly at the back of the house and has original built-in wall closets and an updated bath with spa-like stall shower with bench and natural light. The hall bath has been updated with stylish finishes, fixtures, lighting and a jetted tub. The 2nd bedroom has a wall of original wood closetry and a large corner window to the front garden yard. The highlight of the property is it's expansive and unexpected backyard, with multiple fruit trees, raised garden beds, and view of the mountains. It's ideal as is for extensive gardening or reimagining to include a pool or other visionary design. Forced air heat and central air, as well as a kitchen-adjacent separate laundry room with direct access to the backyard make it move-in ready. The lush San Gabriel Mountain foothill setting has a storied history and charm all its own, while this home is 1.5 miles to Altadena Country Club, and 3 miles or less to trendy restaurants of both North Lake and Washington Boulevard. This romantic character home with mid-century touches, an amazing backyard and the hideaway nature of its location makes this an amazing opportunity to start living the increasingly desirable Altadena lifestyle while still being a part of the vibrant, modern Los Angeles region.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
