More Insights
Built in 1957 (69 years old).
Condition: Built in 1957, this home has received some updates, including granite countertops in the kitchen and primary bath, a jetted tub, and a recently installed roof (assuming the 2025 date is a typo for a recent year). However, the kitchen features dated dark wood cabinets, mosaic tile flooring, and a mix of appliance ages (newer stainless steel range, older white refrigerator/dishwasher). The primary bathroom's tile work and lighting style also appear to be from a renovation 15-20 years ago, not a recent modern update. Hardwood floors are present in living areas and bedrooms, but the dining area has older parquet flooring and wood paneling. While functional and well-maintained, the property requires minor aesthetic updates in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current quality and style standards.

About this home
Seller may credit Buyer up to $25,000 at close of escrow toward Buyer's closing costs and/or interest rate buydown, subject to lender approval and agreed terms and conditions.

Located in Altadena's coveted Meadows area, this charming mid-century home blends classic character with modern comfort on a quiet, tree-lined street. Hardwood floors, pocket doors, and a stone-wrapped fireplace highlight the living spaces, while granite countertops enhance the kitchen and primary bath. The primary suite features a jetted tub and a separate shower. Enjoy a covered front porch, shaded rear patio, central air and heat, and a 2-car garage.
