Description
Nestled on one of Altadena's most beloved Presidential Streets, this beautifully updated 1941 California bungalow offers timeless character, thoughtful upgrades, and a picturesque setting just moments from nature. Natural light fills the inviting living spaces, where gleaming hardwood floors, a classic fireplace, and a seamless flow between the living and dining rooms create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, ample cabinetry, and new stainless steel appliances. A bright sunroom off the dining area provides the perfect space for a home office, reading nook, or creative retreat. Thoughtful improvements throughout the home include a newer roof, an entirely new HVAC system, and a whole-house water filtration system, providing comfort and peace of mind for years to come. Set on a generous 7,800+ sq. ft. lot, the backyard is designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment, complete with a covered outdoor dining area, lush mature trees, multiple seating areas, and endless possibilities for future expansion, including a pool. Plenty of off-street parking and a spacious two-car garage make everyday living easy, while offering excellent potential for a future accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Located in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, this special home offers the rare combination of peaceful surroundings, mountain views, and easy access to hiking trails, neighborhood shops, and all that Altadena has to offer.
