Perched above Loma Alta, this Mid-Century compound is what Altadena dreams are made of. 478 Devonwood offers truly outstanding views of the San Gabriel mountains and of a sprawling skyline that stretches well past downtown LA. The three bed/two bath main home is filled with original details and contemporary updates; concrete and stone floors set a cool and earthy undertone while glimpses of the pool can be caught from all over the house. An oversized showpiece brick mantel with a floating stone bench divides the living and dining rooms, and the eat-in kitchen still has its original office nook. An enclosed side patio offers extra indoor-outdoor entertaining space (or a peaceful spot to relax with your coffee. ) In addition to the detached two-car garage, you'll find a bonus space with a sink and fridge- perfect for an artist's studio or home office. Past the impressive pool and spa, the 630 sf guest suite has a powder room and an open concept flex space that could serve a multitude of purposes. 478 Devonwood is far enough away to feel like a serene and private escape, though it's still just a quick roll down the hill to Side Pie, Cafe de Leche, Miya, the Rancho, and much more.
