About this home

Nestled beneath the welcoming boughs of a towering deodar cedar sits a delightful English cottage, perfectly situated on a quiet tree-lined street in the heart of historic Altadena by Christmas Tree Lane. Built in 1928, this charming 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home seamlessly blends its vintage character with modern updates, offering a sophisticated and inviting living experience. Relax on the spacious covered front porch where you can take in the charming architecture of this street. Upon entering, you will notice the recently refinished original hardwood floors throughout the home. The formal living room features a classic-looking decorative fireplace, a barrel ceiling and an arched picture window facing the front yard. The adjacent formal dining room flows naturally into an expansive eat-in kitchen, which has been thoughtfully modernized with new quartzite countertops, a fresh subway tile backsplash, stainless steel Bosch dishwasher, and contemporary recessed lighting. The primary suites, located toward the rear of the home for added privacy, have been tastefully refreshed. You will find updated dual-pane windows, fresh paint, and high-quality finishes that enhance both comfort and energy efficiency.

About Christmas Tree

Lane

Christmas Tree Lane, located between E Altadena Dr and E Mariposa St, is a residential and historic Altadena neighborhood with a deodar cedar canopy and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Santa Rosa Ave, where the famed holiday light displays trace the median and front yards under towering evergreens. Craftsman bungalows and period cottages line calm blocks, with mountain views framing the north end. Sidewalk strolls and evening walks track the lane’s seasonal rhythm and year-round shade. Nearby, Loma Alta Park adds courts and open lawn, while Altadena Library anchors a civic, bookish note. A short drive south, the Pasadena Playhouse and Vroman’s Bookstore serve as cultural pillars tied closely to local routines.

1928 English Cottage: This west facing charmer has three bedrooms, two and one half bathrooms and is situated on one of Altadena's beautiful streets full of character homes. Pride of ownership is evident in the preservation of architectural details with all the modern upgrades needed. The grand Deodar Cedar framing the home with it's arched picture window and inviting porch create a welcome cottage appeal. The living room has the desired architectural features of this period: wood paned picture window, Bachelder-like fireplace, gleaming wood floors and high vaulted ceiling. The kitchen has been completely redone with recessed lights, all new cabinetry, Caesarstone counter tops and stainless steel appliances and has an in-kitchen eating area. The formal dining room also has window views of the front patio and yard. All three bedrooms have ample space. Both bathrooms have been upgraded tastefully with neutral tile colors and dark wood cabinetry. The enclosed backyard has a patio and grassy area and creates a private setting.
