Description

1930s Altadena Charmer Mountain Views, Hardwood Floors & Flexible Work Space

In the scenic foothills of Altadena, this 1930s traditional pairs original character with easy, everyday livability. Two bedrooms, one bath, roughly 1,100 sq ft, full of thoughtful detail.

The living room is the heart of the home: original hardwood floors, a fireplace, and a bay window framing the San Gabriel Mountains. Just off it, a generous walk-in closet doubles neatly as a home office, ideal for remote work.

French doors open from the light-filled dining room onto a large deck made for al fresco meals and entertaining. The fully fenced backyard offers shaded seating beneath a mature orange tree, room to spread out, and a two-car garage that works just as well as a workshop or creative space. Home also has a dedicated EV charging outlet.

The kitchen features a commercial-grade range, generous cabinetry, and a dedicated laundry area. Down the central hall, a spacious vintage-style bath includes both a soaking tub and a separate shower, alongside two bright bedrooms with ample closet space and natural light. Central AC and a tankless water heater round out the home.

Professionally remediated, freshly turned over, and move-in ready for September 1 (earlier move-in may be possible). A single open house will be held in late July or early August (date to be announced; inquire to be notified). Home is currently occupied; please do not disturb the occupants.

Owner pays for gardener; tenant is responsible for all other utilities (gas, electric, water, trash, internet, etc.). Pets considered on a case-by-case basis. Tenant is required to carry renter's insurance.

    "Dog owners will be very pleased to live in this community. There are many pet lovers here. The only area of concern is there are wild animals living in the area; coyotes, bears, bobcats, skunk, opossum, rattlesnake and deer. Dogs and cats should never be left unmonitored in their yards, as they may be eaten or injured by coyotes at any time of the day."
