About this home
Originally built in 1964 and masterfully rebuilt in 2025/26, this 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom one-story residence spans approximately 3,245 square feet and blends striking modern design with the enduring charm of Altadena. Set behind a dramatic stucco + stone-clad facade and surrounded by serene, artfully landscaped grounds, the home offers a rare sense of privacy, beauty, and intention. Inspired by the original footprint, the property was meticulously reconstructed following the Eaton Fire, with a deep commitment to craftsmanship, quality materials, and honoring the spirit of the Altadena community. A path of stone pavers winds through native plantings and sculptural olive trees, leading to a striking glass double-door entry that sets the tone for the designer sanctuary within. Inside, a grand open layout unfolds beneath soaring ceilings. A versatile den flows seamlessly into a spacious family room with custom built-ins, a mounted flat-screen, and a whole-home speaker system, creating an ideal environment for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Beyond, a sun-filled dining area connects to an impeccably designed chef's kitchen, anchored by a generous island with bar seating, stunning countertops, and custom cabinetry accented with elegant brass hardware. High-end Thermador appliances include a range, microwave, integrated refrigerator and dishwasher, complemented by Zephyr under-counter refrigerator drawers and a wine refrigerator. Multiple sliding glass doors open to the outdoors, maximizing the home's seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and privacy, the home's layout places the expansive primary suite in its own east wing, creating a serene retreat set apart from the additional bedrooms. Sliding doors frame a tranquil yard and mountain views, while a large walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath elevate the experience with a double vanity, chic Star & Cross tile floors, an oversized shower, and a separate soaking tub. On the opposite side of the home, the west wing hosts the remaining bedrooms, offering ideal separation for family or guests. Two generous bedrooms share a beautifully appointed Jack-and-Jill bath with dual vanities and a tub-shower combination. A fourth bedroom, a stylish hall bath with striking slate tile floors and elegant shower, a dedicated laundry room, and built-in hall storage complete this well-appointed wing. Outdoors, the backyard is an entertainer's oasis. A sprawling lawn offers space for play and relaxation, framed by olive trees, native plantings, and sweeping mountain views. Host dinner parties beneath the covered patio off the kitchen, gather in the open-air entertaining patio beneath the stars, or simply enjoy the tranquility of this thoughtfully designed outdoor retreat. The home is outfitted with thoughtfully integrated modern systems, including a full Control4 smart home system with Lutron lighting, integrated Sonos whole-home audio, central iPad control, security system with exterior cameras, and Starlink internet with two years prepaid. Major infrastructure upgrades include all-new HVAC, a tankless water heater, updated electrical and plumbing, a new sewer line, and underground power lines. Fire-conscious construction was a priority, with a spark-resistant composition roof, concrete composite siding under the eaves, and low-flammability exterior materials. A two-car garage completes the home, offering epoxy flooring, generous storage, and pre-wired for an EV charger. Ideally located in Altadena, the property is moments from beloved neighborhood favorites, including Unincorporated Coffee Roasters, Stumptown, Betsy, Miya, Prime Pizza, and many others, as well as easy access to hiking trails, outdoor recreation, and the scenic foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. Carefully rebuilt with intention, design, and durability in mind, this exceptional home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy modern living while honoring the soul of a classic Altadena retreat.
