Located on a quiet street in Altadena, this 1947 single-story traditional home has been thoughtfully updated. Grandly sited above the street with the majestic San Gabriel Mountains behind and California Oak tree shading the front yard, this home is really special. Beyond the front door is the open living room with fireplace and dining room that looks out to the covered front porch. Recently remodeled kitchen with center island, stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, and a French door that opens to the trellised rear patio and garden. The present owners conveniently added direct-access to the finished 2-car garage that they use as a home office/play room. The north side of the house is dedicated private space featuring two bedrooms, that share a hall bath and a primary suite. The primary bedroom suite is very generous in scale and has French doors to the backyard. Thoughtfully updated with entertaining in mind, the home's trellised patio is a wonderful extension of the living space and makes a perfect outdoor living room complete with adjustable electronic trellis to control the shade, and TV hookups. The yard is complete with a large flat grassy area that is a great play space with chicken coop! This well-appointed home is comfortable, designed with entertaining in mind & just waiting for a new owner to cherish it!
