A stunning example of Spanish Revival architecture, this 1924 residence exudes timeless elegance and authentic character at every turn. Thoughtfully preserved and enhanced, the home's charm begins at first glance--its classic clay tile roof, arched wood post front porch, and walled courtyard entrance framed by lush professional landscaping convey both its historic pedigree and enduring beauty. Inside, the home retains its 1920s craftsmanship with beamed ceilings in the living and dining rooms, and a magnificent fireplace adorned with original Spanish tiles as the centerpiece. A gracious wide doorway with an exposed wood header connects the living room to the dining area, offering a sense of openness while maintaining architectural distinction between the spaces. The remodeled kitchen blends modern convenience with traditional style--featuring stone countertops, a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, an extra prep sink, and thoughtful design details that elevate everyday living. The primary suite is a true retreat, with vaulted ceilings that enhance the volume and light of the room. The primary bath has been beautifully updated with a stand-alone soaking tub, marble-topped vanity, and a picture window framing serene views. Throughout the home, casement windows and French doors open to the outdoors, leading to a terracotta-tiled patio accented by handcrafted Spanish tile details--perfect for al fresco dining or quiet mornings. Completing the property is a beautifully finished ADU, offering a living area, full kitchen, and bedroom, all designed with the same care and attention to detail as the main home. Located on one of Altadena's most picturesque streets, 1790 Braeburn Road is a rare blend of historic charm, architectural integrity, and modern refinement--a home that truly captures the spirit of classic California living.
