Property Description
Set on an impressive 18,744 sq ft lot near JPL, this cherished Altadena treasure has been lovingly maintained by just two owners. Located in a serene, tree-lined neighborhood, the home gracefully survived recent fires and radiates historic charm and peaceful living. Zoned Equine District (LCR17500ED), this property offers rare flexibility, permitting horse keeping, expansive gardening, and the potential to add barns, garages, sheds, or an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit). It's ideal for hobbyists, animal lovers, or multi-generational households seeking space and versatility. The park-like grounds feature three mature fruit trees, towering shade trees, and 100-year-old cacti. Classic brick paver walkways add texture and charm, while a lush front lawn enhances curb appeal. The lot is fully enclosed with wrought iron fencing, dual automatic gates, and a low-maintenance vinyl perimeter fence for added privacy and security. Inside, this single-story Craftsman showcases original character: wood-beam ceilings, built-in curio and china cabinets, a brick fireplace, and a sun-drenched sitting room. Hardwood floors flow throughout, accented by distressed reclaimed wood paneling for rustic warmth. The kitchen features granite countertops and updated appliances, offering function and style. Recent upgrades include a natural gas forced-air HVAC system, whole-house water filtration, and a California basement for extra storage. The primary bedroom boasts a walk-in closet, while the second bedroom includes a private entry, ideal for guests or a home office. For the eco-conscious, a fully paid and transferable Tesla solar system (installed 14 years ago) provides long-term energy savings. And according to the owner, the home was framed with cedar wood, known for its natural termite resistance--a valuable and rare detail. This is a truly special opportunity to own a heritage-rich property with land, charm, and zoning flexibility in one of Altadena's most desirable enclaves.
