Anchored by majestic Oaks, this 1908 Craftsman bungalow is Altadena lifestyle delivered. Greeted at the street by blooming lion's tail and scented sage, a hummingbird may accompany your stroll to the wide and comfortable covered front porch. Sit for a moment. Muted green shingled siding, native plantings through porch rails, birdsong, breeze in the leaves, chattering squirrels. .. Inside, gleaming oak floors ground the updates and upgrades of a modern interior, where dual pane windows reveal a huge lot with generations of old growth Citrus and Oaks. Spacious living room, dining and gorgeous upgraded kitchen offer an open plan for entertaining and enjoyment of al fresco meals on a concrete and pebble patio. Two bedrooms enjoy upgraded baths, with the primary suite boasting front and back yard views plus direct access to its own patio, perfect for relaxing in the large lot's natural environment. Laundry is conveniently located in the hallway and a back porch utility room doubles as a meditation space here. A newly rebuilt one-car garage has lots of room for storage, a gym or creative space. Potential to add on or build an ADU. Welcome to your Altadena dream spot.
