Welcome to your quintessential Craftsman retreat nestled in a serene park-like setting on an expansive double-lot. As you ascend the long, private gated driveway, anticipation builds for the grand reveal of this captivating 2-story Arts & Crafts period home. Upon arrival, the 2 story-high covered front porch beckons you to marvel at this architecturally stunning home greeted by classic Craftsman charm emanating from every detail. Entering through the classically crafted oversized front door you will be treated to a meticulously designed interior boasting original hardwood flooring, wood box beam ceilings & a majestic brick fireplace with a wood mantle, now serving as a decorative centerpiece. The spacious living area leads seamlessly to the formal dining room, a true testament to grandeur with a generously sized seating area to enjoy a cocktail before dinner & French doors opening to the side yard. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight, equipped with top-of-the-line Thermodor appliances, including an oversized restaurant-style refrigerator & freezer, a gas range & dishwasher. Tile countertops & ample cabinetry, including a kitchen island, offer both style & functionality, complemented by wood-look vinyl flooring. Continuing with Arts & Crafts-like details an adjoining family room provides additional living space, complete with French doors leading to the expansive backyard retreat. Before continuing on the first floor to the first 3 bedrooms of the 6 bedrooms this home offers, you will find a full bathroom with a separate soaking tub, a tiled shower & a single sink vanity. At the front of the home is the first bedroom with hardwood flooring & picture windows allowing natural light to pour in. A charming hallway leads to a second bathroom, featuring a claw foot tub beneath a picturesque bay window. 2 additional generously sized bedrooms are along this hallway. Both have large closets, and hardwood floors & one has a charming window bench seat & french doors to the backyard oasis. Ascend the oak staircase to the second floor, where a spacious great room adorned with vaulted ceilings awaits. Enjoy wood beam accents & French doors opening to a spacious balcony overlooking the stunning backyard. 3 more bedrooms, including the luxurious primary suite, offer comfort & elegance. This expansive suite has a large picture window bathing the room with natural light & crown molding throughout adding a touch of sophistication to the space. The attached en-suite bathroom has its own period-specific custom finishes such as penny tile flooring, subway tile walls & recessed lighting to go with the dual-sink vanity, sunken jetted spa-like tub & oversized glass shower with floor-to-ceiling subway tile. The 2 remaining bedrooms are comparable in size & each has crown molding & good-sized closets with built-ins. With the inside of the home complete, the outside of this beautifully crafted home is calling you to discover your own private oasis, complete with dual patio areas, a barbecue island & a covered parking space adjacent to the detached 2-car garage. A gazebo, a “treetop” deck & lush landscaping, including fruit trees, majestic oak trees & large deodar trees create a tranquil backdrop for outdoor gatherings. With fully paid-for solar panels on the roof & the ability for EV charging, this home seamlessly combines the classic Craftsman charm with sustainability & luxury living. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Altadena's finest craftsmanship, where every detail is thoughtfully designed for comfort, style & timeless beauty.
