**OPPORTUNITY AWAITS!** This charming 1940s home, located in the heart of Altadena, has been lovingly maintained by its current owner for nearly 25 years—and is now ready for someone new to make it their own. Step into a spacious and elegantly decorated formal living room, complete with a cozy fireplace and custom-fitted bookshelves—just waiting to be filled with your favorite reads and personal touches. Through the glass French doors, you'll find a formal dining room that flows seamlessly into a generous kitchen with an adjacent breakfast area, perfect for casual meals. The sleeping quarters are thoughtfully situated in the south wing of the home. As you move into this area, you'll notice the oak hardwood floors are in a new condition. The guest bathroom features stylish tile flooring, a granite countertop, and a beautifully designed custom vanity. Both guest bedrooms are generously sized and warmly welcoming with plush carpeting. The spacious primary suite offers two large closets and an expansive en-suite bathroom with a double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower—plenty of room for two to unwind in comfort. Step out from either the master suite or the great room into a tranquil backyard oasis. Mature trees and peaceful landscaping provide a serene setting for reading, relaxing, or enjoying intimate gatherings with family and friends. The rear patio is the ideal spot for an afternoon snack or an evening meal beneath the stars and skylight.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
