CLASSIC ALTADENA TRADITIONAL w/ AWE INSPIRING VIEWS! Available for the first time in decades, this is your opportunity to own in one of Altadena's most sought after areas. Nestled within the coveted Presidential Streets, this single story home sits atop an elevated lot with tons of curb appeal. Brick elevation & beautiful landscaping help create a sense of warmth and welcome as you enter this great home. The formal living area offers a fireplace and a large bay window that frames the magnificent San Gabriel Mountains perfectly. The dining area sits between the kitchen and the spacious family room. The kitchen offers tile counters, recessed lights, a breakfast nook and convenient access to the laundry room. The middle bedroom offers direct access to a 3/4 bath. The rear bedroom is nicely sized and features a slider that goes out to the backyard. The lot is 9,444 sqft, but it feels so much larger! The yard can be enjoyed as is, however, if you've been wanting to build out an ADU, or create your own organic garden or maybe build the pool of your dreams, it can be done here! Working from home or maybe you want your own craft room or private gym? Well, there's an additional room to the rear of the garage that can be whatever you desire! The gated driveway will accommodate several cars, an R/V or a boat! Other upgrades to note: newer dual pane windows, new electrical panel, new HVAC unit and solar panels to help with the power bills. This is the home you've been waiting for! Set up an appointment to see this special home before it's to late!

Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1939, has received significant functional upgrades including newer dual-pane windows, a new electrical panel, a new HVAC unit, and solar panels, which are excellent for its age. However, the kitchen features dated tile counters, older-style cabinets, and a mix of appliances (some newer, some older). The bathrooms also appear dated with older vanities, countertops, and Hollywood strip lighting. While the home is well-maintained and move-in ready from a systems perspective, the cosmetic conditions of the kitchen and bathrooms require minor to moderate updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'Fair' category.
