A sunsoaked midcentury dream on a broad, palm-lined street, nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriels, this turnkey home was lovingly revived by the owners. They installed all brand-new systems (electrical, plumbing, roof, solar, insulation, water heater, heat pump and zoned climate control, ducting, appliances, and more) including Mother-in-Law unit, while retaining the midcentury modern charm. Freshly restored hardwood stuns throughout the open-plan layout. Vaulted ceilings with a solar-powered retractable skylight let in sunlight and fresh air in the summer. In the winter, a working wood fireplace keeps the chill away. In the kitchen, find flat-panel cupboards above, and stunning scalloped clay tile below — both original. A new dishwasher and fridge accompany an irreplaceably vintage stove. In the primary bathroom, new terrazzo tile accompanies a new shower. An expansive backyard is shaded by trees, including a mature avacodo. There’s plenty of room here for a pool, workspace, or even another living space. The surrounding blocks were untouched by the recent fire, but just to be safe, the home was professionally remediated for soot and ash, with attic insulation entirely replaced. Altadena is already on the rebound, with lots of commercial development humming along on nearby Lincoln Ave, including walkable attractions like Good Neighbor Bar, Home State, Kismet, Stumptown, and Highlight Coffee. Close to the 210 (but not too close), the home provides access to downtown Pasadena in 8 minutes, downtown LA in under a half hour and is located within 2 miles of JPL. You’re minutes away from the foothills, where some of the best hiking, biking and camping in the county can be found.
