From the agent: "Welcome to this incredible post-and-beam midcentury, set in an unparalleled sylvan setting at the end of a wooded cul-de-sac. The home has three bedrooms and two baths including a lower-level bonus guest suite or bunk room that is tucked off the verdant yard. You feel like you are miles away from the hustle and bustle and in your own hideaway retreat. You step into the architectural home via a tall door flanked by period, reeded glass panels. As you enter the residence, wrapped in windows, you are led to the elegant living room with beamed ceilings as well as a stately fireplace. This adjoins the inviting dining area and kitchen that has been recently remodeled. This upper floor also features a renovated bath and two bedrooms, including a primary bedroom that opens out to a wide balcony that showcases treetop views of the beautiful surroundings. The bottom floor is bonus space and would be ideal as a separate guest suite or office. This property is filled with character details and fixtures throughout including custom built-ins, clerestory windows and midcentury lighting that complete the picture-perfect interior. The exterior of the house is accessed from numerous sets of tall glass doors that frame the sweeping views of our majestic San Gabriel Mountains. Enjoy the raised deck and patio area while entertaining friends or for simply relaxing with the morning paper. It is idyllic and steps down to the shade-dappled, terraced yard that beckons you with its serenity and grace, all in a once in a lifetime location. Don’t miss this true Altadena beauty."
The entrance of this Altadena home, about 15 miles away from Los Angeles, is framed by period-correct reeded glass panels. The front door is a deep orange, a warm invitation to the rest of the house.
