LOCALLA

An enchanted, charming 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, 1.5 bathrooms contemporary back home - formerly the carriage house. The spacious living room features a wood-burning brick fireplace, contrasting beamed ceiling, unusual textured plaster, and original iron windows with integrated metal screens. The original owner was said to have operated a foundry supplying similar distinctive iron hardware and windows for homes throughout the area. North-facing windows frame views of the San Gabriel mountains. French doors open from the dining room to a private, sunny courtyard patio. Original detailing and character have been retained throughout the home: built-ins, decorative tile in bathrooms, and hardwood floors. The coved doorways of the dining room lead to the family room with a fireplace overseen by the contemporary kitchen. Its high-end appliances, gleaming wood, glass-fronted cabinetry, hand-inlaid counters, and charming breakfast area complement the house's English style. The former carriage house was cleverly renovated into a modern second home with a separate workshop. The first floor is made up of a skylit living room, an open-plan kitchen, and a large full bath with a walk-in shower. Upstairs, find a spacious and well-organized one-bedroom, office nook, half bath, and a hidden laundry area. Large windows embrace the surrounding Oak tree. Situated on a 7372 sqft flat lot with beautiful gardens, vine-covered pergolas, and mature trees.
