This stunning 1929 Spanish Colonial Revival has been beautifully restored, blending historic character with modern luxury. Set on a generous Altadena lot, the 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home showcases arched doorways, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, Malibu tile accents, and fireplaces that reflect its Spanish charm. A large window in the living room fills the space with natural light and frames views of the front yard, highlighted by a mature olive tree. The gourmet kitchen offers custom cabinetry with quartz countertops, Viking appliances, and a custom wet bar with walnut shelving. The dining room features a Juliet balcony, while the primary suite enjoys a private balcony with mountain views--creating inviting spaces to enjoy both morning light and evening sunsets. The main level includes a bedroom and bathroom with a shower, while upstairs provides three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms, including the primary suite with a spa-inspired bath and mountain views. Modern updates include hardwood floors, marble and porcelain finishes, frameless glass showers, premium fixtures, recessed lighting, fully updated plumbing and electrical, and dual HVAC systems with Nest control. Professionally designed landscaping with a flagstone courtyard, ambient lighting, and lush greenery creates a private retreat just moments from Altadena's hiking trails, parks, shopping, and local eateries. This turnkey residence offers both classic beauty and a lifestyle of refined elegance.
