Description
Nestled in the highly desirable Lamplight District of Altadena just a few short blocks from the Altadena Town and Country Club and Altadena Golf Course, this exquisite English Period Revival home was built in 1927 by the renowned firm Glover & Kauth. Known for their significant contributions to the Period Revival style in the Pasadena area, Glover & Kauth crafted a residence that epitomizes timeless elegance. It has been lovingly cared for by the same family for the past 52 years. Entering through a private walled, sunny courtyard edged with planting beds, the main house features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, white-oak hardwood floors throughout and Versailles Pattern porcelain tiles in the kitchen, half-bath, and in the versatile third bedroom off the kitchen a perfect den, office or family room if desired. Lathe and plaster walls with bullnose edges and arches, accented with crown molding and base-board skirting throughout. The custom-designed Batchelder-style tile hearth with hand-hewn solid-wood mantle - all by well-known David Bell Interiors - anchors the angled Norman-style overmantel. The grand living room boasts a vaulted 10 foot cathedral-ceiling and large picture window flanked by Tudor-style diamond-pane leaded-glass French-doors all offering views of the majestic San Gabriel Mountains. The dining room offers ample space for elegant dinner parties or intimate gatherings. With vaulted ceilings, custom cabinetry, solid surface countertops, and a large island with a butcher block breakfast bar, the kitchen serves as the perfect spot for enjoying a cup of tea or whipping up a four-course feast all while entertaining friends and family. Off the kitchen, a large Trex(tm) deck and vine covered pergola spans the back of the house, providing access from both rear bedrooms, ideal for shaded outdoor gatherings or quiet relaxation. Includes a California basement, HVAC, and copper gutters. Additionally, a separate one-bedroom guest house with a full kitchen, washer and dryer and AC adds to the property's appeal. The neighborhood is conveniently located near The Stratford School, local restaurants Altaeats and Prime Pizza.
