Description:

On a rambling corner lot at the base of Altadena's famed Mount Lowe, this mid-century traditional home offers lifestyle with a show-stopping view. Velvety green grass and a curving cross rail fence compliment the stucco and wood clapboard siding original to this c. 1951 property. Inside, beautifully refinished narrow plank oak floors and custom crown molding define this elegantly comfortable 3 bedroom home. She is the gem of the neighborhood selected by the original developer as his personal residence. The floor plan here creates the perfect flow: the generous living room just off the entry boasts a stacked brick fireplace with a handsome mantle and fluted pilaster surround. West-facing picture and sash windows bathe this space and the adjoining dining room in natural light. A mid-century throwback detail: double pocket doors separating the living and dining rooms, as well as another separating dining from kitchen are functional and fun.
