Property Description

Traditional shake shingle cottage located near Altadena's Christmas Tree Lane is airy and bright. Charming like a rustic East coast seaside retreat but unmistakably Altadena with deodar and Mountain views, this unique character home offers traditional architectural features with some fun offbeat flair. Nestled behind a leafy hedge and punctuated with the orange blooms of pomegranate and cape honeysuckle, the front yard offers thick green grass as well as quiet garden seating. The welcoming front door echos garden color and opens to gleaming hardwood floors and a living room offering plentiful windows, a traditional stacked brick fireplace with painted surround and mantel, built-in bookshelves and grooved flat panel siding. Formal dining room is spacious as is the kitchen with plenty of counters space, cool O'Keefe and Merritt stove and sunny eat-in breakfast area plus adjacent laundry. Family room is lovely with built-in shelves for books and television plus a wall of windows offering sparkling pool views. Just outside the family room is a huge covered patio with brick planter. It provides a shady outdoor room to enjoy just off the pool deck. Three bedrooms are light filled and roomy. The large owners suite opens to the patio and enjoys an en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath located in the hallway. Fruit trees, two-car garage, driveway parking, and a fantastic central Altadena location just minutes from Cafe de Leche, Amara Kitchen, Fox's, El Patron, Webster's and more.
