Framed under a canopy of stately Elm and Podocarpus trees, this 1948 traditional home boasts original architecture in Altadena's esteemed President Streets. With a stunning view of the mountains from the front yard, charming shuttered windows, pretty pittosporum hedge and midcentury reeded frame at the front door, there is curb appeal to spare here! Offering 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, sun room, den, breakfast room AND formal living and dining rooms, the layout of this home is equal parts comfortable and civilized. Inside, a proper entry ushers into the formal living room, warm original hardwood floors and fireplace with elegant trim that echoes the reeded motif around the front door. Original details continue in the dining room, with combed plaster wainscoting. This single-level home is ideal for entertaining and offers room to spread out: the generous den adjacent to the living room features an additional fireplace and access to the back patio, perfect for al fresco dining. This home was designed with functionality in mind, from the kitchen, central to dining room, den and breakfast room, to the attached two car garage, flowing into bright sun room and laundry. The yard here is brimming with possibility, offering plenty of room to play, entertain and garden - chefs and foodies will appreciate the fruiting guava and persimmon trees! With scenes of calming green from virtually every window, proximity to Eaton Canyon hiking and biking trails, this home offers a healthy dose of nature in a lovely location convenient to everything you need and want. Don't miss this gem, an unspoiled traditional property, ready for its next chapter!
