Indoor/Outdoor Designer Mid Century Retreat

Indulge in relaxation at this recently renovated Mid Century home, featuring three bedrooms, pool & hot tub. Bask by the black pebble pool, unwind in the inviting hot tub, hike the San Gabriel Mountains, and enjoy Altadena's burgeoning restaurant scene. The house boasts newly remodeled designer kitchen and bathroom. Explore Pasadena and Los Angeles' array of world-class museums, thrilling amusement parks, beaches, diverse restaurants, and exciting shopping from a fabulous home base in beautiful Altadena.

The home was built in 1950 with what was known as a "Modern Traditional" style, utilizing traditional elements like redwood siding and red brick patio details, but with a pared down, minimalist feel. Recent renovations include black bottom Pebble Tech pool and spa, designer kitchen and bathrooms, native plant landscaping, and the addition of solar panels. Enjoy the fully equipped kitchen with breakfast nook table and four chairs, stylish living/dining room with 55" television and large live-edge walnut table, private courtyard with lounge patio, outdoor grilling area, and an enclosed, private rear garden with pool, hot tub, outdoor heater, and plenty of poolside seating and umbrellas for dining and relaxing.

Altadena is a beautiful, quiet, historic neighborhood situated in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, Pasadena to the South, La Canada Flintridge to the West, and Sierra Madre to the East. From the house, can you can walk three blocks to Loma Alta Park which has a farmer’s market on Wednesday afternoons, kids play structures, grass field, picnic area, horse track, and four well kept tennis courts.
