1011 Concha St, Altadena, CA 91001

Property Description

A Tudor home at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, shaded by old growth cedar trees and in the most desirable and remote pocket of Altadena. It's difficult to find any aspect of this home to improve upon. Originally built in 1932, the classic layout places each of the 3 bedrooms at an optimal distance from one another, awarding each sleeper with the utmost privacy and quiet enjoyment. The living room features a working fireplace, leaded-glass windows & high vaulted ceilings. There are even four hand carved wooden figureheads at the ends of the beams, aptly named The Four Winds to represent each cardinal direction. Other artisanal details include stained glass windows, French doors, wrought-iron gates, and built-in storage at every turn. The bathrooms feature original gem toned tiles The plumbing has been painstakingly upgraded to preserve the tile work and the importance of this improvement cannot be overstated. In 2013 the home underwent a handful of major upgrades: a kitchen renovation including custom cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, a new roof, and a whole house rewire. Since 2020, all plumbing has been replaced, an electric gate added in the driveway and the house's exterior freshly painted. More luxurious add-ons include a cedar hot tub in the backyard, Witch and Watchman wallpaper with matching curtains and a new kitchen floor made with one hundred year old hexagonal Malibu Tiles, from Well's Antiques.
