Altadena, CA 91001

Mid-century architecture and the backdrop of a sparkling pool synergize to create the utmost in coveted SoCal lifestyle here in this 1955 Altadena foothills gem! Cool steel casement windows, stacked brick topped with wideline wood panel siding and groovy geometric motifs on entry courtyard gates welcome you from the street to this this 3 bedroom, 2 bath stunner. Quadrangle courtyard with fruiting citrus tree creates a real sense of privacy with the north-facing front door hidden from the street. Inside find beautiful white oak floors and clean architectural lines in this well-designed single level home, with living spaces to the west of the entry, and sleeping spaces to the east. A show-stopping living room boasts vaulted cathedral beamed tongue and groove ceilings, a double-sided brick fireplace with bench hearth, and the quintessential atomic ranch wall of windows looking out to a spacious covered patio and sparkling pool beyond. Living here offers indoor-outdoor space to nature flow to the highest degree, with inside living and dining rooms flowing seamlessly to their outside counterparts. Kitchen and dining space are separate but open and oriented toward the deep backyard with prolific orange trees, room for gardening and relaxation in the pool. Natural light prevails here in virtually every space; through windows and skylights, every room has a sunny happy vibe. Each of the three bedrooms is equally desirable: the primary an en-suite 3/4 bath, while two others share a spacious full bath with soaking tub. Bedrooms and hallway provide ample storage, with the two-car garage, just steps from the house via the entry courtyard, offering plenty of space for parking, storage, a studio/office or conversion to ADU. This is the Mid-century dream: combine the great bones of intact architecture with your creative vision.
