Description
A rare opportunity: this original 1933 English Cottage in east Altadena has been wonderfully preserved, and is primed for a lucky new owner. Elevated from the street, the home enjoys a stunning mountain vista in the background on charming Morada Place. Architecture enthusiasts will enjoy the catslide roof, portico entry and plank front door, followed by more magic inside. The living room's cove vaulted ceiling, decorative tile fireplace and shouldered Tudor arch are features to treasure. Lustrous, hand-finished plaster walls and curved recesses reflect natural light from the front picture window, offering views of sculptural Ginko trees in the garden. A gracious formal dining room to the north flows into the kitchen, featuring stone countertops, recently-installed appliances and leafy green views of the backyard. A light-filled home office is adjacent with convenient direct backyard and driveway access. The primary suite at the northeast corner of the house boasts cornered windows from which to take in the peaceful garden, with walk-in closet and dual sink vanity bath with walk-in shower. Down a skylit hallway with useful storage cupboards, find two comfortable bedrooms and a full windowed bath. Upstairs, the 292 SF finished attic space is a delightful bonus space to play or work. Outside, the relaxed backyard with pebble-finished patio enjoys dappled shade from mature trees and a sun-kissed border of fragrant roses and star jasmine. Finally, the 305 SF garage with pitched roof provides space for parking, a workshop, or myriad other potential uses. Located almost around the corner from the fun at Bevel Coffee, Prime Pizza, Altadena Beverage and neighborhood favorite Armen Market, this home in a coveted pocket of East Altadena is one to cherish.
