More Insights

Built in 1939 (87 years old).
Condition: Despite the 1939 build year, the property has been 'fully reimagined' and 'reconstructed with new plumbing, electrical, systems, kitchen, baths, and floors,' delivering 'true turnkey living.' The images confirm a completely new, modern kitchen with white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, new stainless steel appliances, and contemporary fixtures. Bathrooms are also fully updated with new vanities, modern tiling, and glass-enclosed showers. All components appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards, consistent with an extensive renovation completed within the last 5 years (assuming the 'January 2026' completion date is a typo for a recent year).

About this home

Tucked into one of Altadena's most beloved residential pockets, this fully reimagined California bungalow offers a rare blend of design, land, and opportunity. A true lifestyle property where indoor-outdoor living, creativity, and nature come together. As you arrive, the drive is framed by jaw-dropping mountain views and mature trees. Completed in January 2026, the home has been thoughtfully reconstructed with new landscaping, plumbing, electrical, systems, kitchen, baths, floors, and more, delivering true turnkey living with long-term peace of mind. The layout lives far larger than expected, with approximately 1,600 square feet taped, one-and-a-half baths, and multiple bonus spaces that allow the home to adapt effortlessly to your lifestyle. The main living spaces are filled with natural light and warmth. At the rear of the home, a gorgeous sunroom opens directly to the expansive backyard and offers an ideal setting for a home office, wellness/meditation room, or creative studio. The backyard unfolds as a private sanctuary, featuring an enclosed garden pavilion offering the opportunity to create a full greenhouse for growing your own fruits, vegetables, and herbs while embracing a true farm-to-table lifestyle at home. Fruit trees include avocado, lemon, and fig, with ample room to expand your garden and create your own modern homestead. A thoughtfully converted and sound-insulated garage adds another layer of versatility and can easily serve as a music studio, home gym, or guest retreat. With the amount of space and additional rooms, the possibilities here are truly endless. The oversized lot is a true standout. The new landscaping was intentionally designed with low-maintenance, drought-tolerant native plantings, slow-growing grasses, and a state-of-the-art smart irrigation system that monitors soil moisture, skips watering when it rains, and operates on all-new, code-compliant piping with a dedicated irrigation valve. This is a landscape designed to grow more beautiful with time. Additional highlights include a Tesla charger, rare monkey puzzle trees and maple trees anchoring the front landscape and outdoor lighting infrastructure for evening entertaining. The property also offers significant expansion potential, making it an exceptional long-term investment. Just moments from some of Altadena's favorite restaurants (Betsy), Descanso Gardens, Christmas Tree Lane, and miles of hiking trails, this home offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful retreat with effortless access to one of the most vibrant and connected communities in all of Los Angeles. More than just a home, this is a place to put down your roots and build a life with space, beauty, and room to expand.
