This enchanted compound in the desirable Historic Highlands Landmark District in Altadena includes a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom 1927 English Tudor main house and a newly renovated 1 bedroom, one-and-a-half bath contemporary ADU—formerly the carriage house. You enter the main house into a spacious living room with wood-burning brick fireplace, contrasting beamed ceiling, textured plaster, and original iron windows with integrated metal screens. North-facing windows frame views of the San Gabriel mountains while French doors open from the adjacent dining room to a private, sunny courtyard patio. Original detailing and character have been retained throughout the home including built-ins, decorative tile in bathrooms, and hardwood floors. The coved doorway of the dining room lead to the family room with a fireplace as well as a contemporary kitchen with high-end appliances, gleaming wood, glass-fronted cabinetry, hand-inlaid counters, and a charming breakfast nook. The three bedrooms and two baths, with original tiling, along one side of the home while out back the former carriage house was remodeled into a modern ADU. The first floor of the ADU is made up of a skylit living room, an open-plan kitchen, and a large full bath with a walk-in shower. Upstairs is a spacious and well-organized one-bedroom, office nook and half bath with large windows showcasing the surrounding Oak trees, the back garden, vine-covered pergolas, and mature trees. Two homes for the price of one, with great income potential; the home was listed for $1.85M but sold for $2.1M.                           As always click to emBIGGERate …  |

GURL. You had my with the first picture!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNow this is soooooooo me. I adore the whole thing. The mix of different woods, the floorplan, not to big and not to small. I love all the different tileworks and the wallpaper in the one bathroom with the cranes is gorgeous!!!! Just enough to make a statement without being overdone. And of course, that kitchen I personally love. Very user friendly and everything accessible without walking a mile to get something. I even like the colors of the rooms, just enough. Even though we shouldn't look at the furnishings, I even like those. I like the "light touch". Tell them to throw those in for me too dear, would you?
People hear Tudor, and automatically think, old, stuffy and staunch. This is a great example of what a Tudor can be.
10's across the board.
Altadena? Did the fires get it?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, but I'm going to repeat Yorkshire's question. Even if it did, that community is going to be changed forever.
ReplyDeleteI had the same thought as YP - the fires went through Altadena.
ReplyDeleteThe Eaton fire did destroy homes in the area of this house, including the McNally House of McNally map fame, the Zane Grey Estate, the Scripps mansion and the whimsical Bunny Museum, while the Palisades fire destroyed the historic Will Rogers Ranch and Museum.
ReplyDeleteEvery house destroyed in these fires was a great individual loss, but out of this tragedy has come a great sense of community through out So Cal and we will overcome this.

Really well done and appointed. I sure hope this one survived the fires. And, if so, one hopes they're helping house if they can --- without increasing rent 100-fold. Terrible losses throughout the area.
ReplyDeleteYes, I fear it's just a memory now!
