Description
Perched on one of Altadena's most coveted view lots, this exceptional mid-century modern residence was originally commissioned by Helen M.

Thoughtfully reimagined by the current owners, the home has undergone a meticulous, design-forward refurbishment--including the addition of a fourth bedroom by the original firm--honoring its architectural pedigree while elevating it for modern living.From the moment you enter, classic mid-century design reveals itself through clean lines, warm materials, and a seamless connection to the outdoors. Spanning four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the open-concept layout is filled with natural light and crafted for effortless indoor-outdoor flow.A dramatic step-down living room serves as the heart of the home, anchored by slate steps, a striking rock fireplace, and soaring mahogany-paneled vaulted ceilings. Expansive walls of glass frame sweeping views, with the San Gabriel Valley providing a breathtaking backdrop to the lush, water-wise landscaped grounds and fully renovated pool and spa.The private primary suite is a true retreat, featuring vaulted mahogany ceilings, walls of glass, and serene views of both the backyard and city beyond. Custom built-ins--including a headboard, nightstands, and cabinetry--enhance the home's authentic mid-century aesthetic. The spa-inspired primary bath is filled with natural light and offers dual sink areas, a dedicated vanity, and a separate tiled tub and shower.The fully renovated kitchen showcases all-new appliances, sleek floating shelving, and refined, clean-lined finishes with maple cabinetry and pure white quartz countertops. It flows seamlessly into the dining area, where a half wall of built-in maple cabinetry provides both function and understated elegance while subtly defining the space.Additional amenities include terrazzo flooring, decorative block wall, solar panels, Lutron lighting throughout, skylights, an alarm system, a finished garage, built-in speaker readiness, fire sprinklers, and a new roof (2026).A rare offering that combines architectural significance, thoughtful updates, and stunning views--this is Altadena living at its finest.
