This magnificent Altadena estate is on the market for the first time in 56 years. Owned by a Caltech professor and an artist, this beloved property offers many mature trees, natural beauty and privacy. There are two houses: a 1931 classic Spanish Colonial Revival (4718 sq. ft.) and a charming 1909 Victorian cottage (892 sq. ft.) with a separate street address and utilities. The main house, designed by Architects Ashton & Denney, boasts amazing original features, top-tier materials and uncommon attention to detail. Hand-stenciled wood ceilings, custom wrought ironwork, steel casement windows, hand-painted Davies and McDonald Spanish tile and thick plaster walls all exude quality construction and structural integrity. A formal entry leads to a grand living room with a dramatic wood-beam ceiling, French doors and large arched picture window. A formal dining room, featuring a wrought iron chandelier and lovely garden views, connects to a butler's pantry and bright kitchen. A den/library, breakfast room, and two en-suite bedrooms are also on the main floor. Upstairs are two large en-suite bedrooms with dressing rooms and balconies. Below the living room is a large finished room with a fireplace and light-welled windows perfect for a media or recreation room.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
