Welcome to this romantic 2,915 square foot (measured) 1926 Spanish estate that sits perched on a raised knoll on one of Altadena's most desirable streets. The architectural four bedroom, three bath residence plus a den and detached studio with bath is sited on an 10,892 square foot parcel that offers an unusual level of privacy on a shaded, tiered lot with a pool, three lawn areas and a koi pond.
The original Saltillo tile steps lead you up to a stately front door that opens into a gracious entry done in handcrafted tile below and gorgeous, hand stenciled wood beams above. From there you are beckoned into the sun-drenched, step-down living room with an elegant, decorative central fireplace that is crowned by a picture-perfect niche. In addition, there is a soaring curved front window, a tall beamed ceiling with hand-hewn painted beams as well as Moorish arched doorways and French doors. A formal dining room is wrapped in windows and has lovely rolled crown molding. The lower level has an en-suite bedroom, as well as a den that could be equally wonderful as a bedroom. The spacious kitchen has a breakfast peninsula, stainless steel appliances and gleaming white cabinetry. Finally, this level has a bonus bar area that is ideal for entertaining or game night! Upstairs there are three large bedrooms, two of which open out, via French doors, to private patios that offer views of the tree-lined street below as well as the majestic San Gabriel mountains rising in the background. The interior features incredible antique hardware, period fixtures, a sweeping curved staircase with a showcase worthy, wrought-iron banister and all the grace of the era. It’s a pleasure to behold.
The exterior has a space for everything with two manicured lawn areas, a charming koi pond plus a beautifully tiled pool and spa. In addition, there is a bonus room, with a bath and laundry area off the garage that could be used for visiting family, as an office or a fitness space. The options are limitless.
Don’t miss the chance to call this magnificent house your home. This is truly an Altadena treasure!
