This home is a classic example of the early 1900’s Arts and Crafts movement. The quality of the period is evident in the high ceilings, the gorgeous woodwork, classic built-ins, gleaming hardwood floors, and the large rooms. The integrity of the character has been well preserved and enhanced by some updating.
The lower level features a classic entry porch opening into a large, light-filled living room with beamed ceilings, a stunning Batchelder fireplace, and a bright office connected by glass doors. The flow of the house continues to the spacious dining room, complete with beautiful built-in cabinets and a welcoming screened-in porch, ideal for casual dining. An open kitchen leads into the family room, completing the flow of the common spaces. Conveniently located off the kitchen is the service porch and bathroom. Finishing off the downstairs is a large bedroom and charming full bath.
Upstairs, off the gracious landing are three good sized bedrooms, a large full bath, and a fourth room that is could be used as a den, or an additional bedroom. The upstairs continues the feel of the home with bright rooms, hardwood floors, and character details. There is ample closet and storage space upstairs and gorgeous views of the mountains from the back bedroom.
The large lot provides for a multitude of purposes. The house sits well off the street and there is wonderful space in the backyard for gardening, playing, adding a pool, whatever stirs the soul. The two car-garage has an attached workshop for additional storage and space. Situated in the stunning foothills of Altadena, this home offers grace and style combined with an abundance of living space.
