Set against the foothills of Altadena, this Tuscan inspired home has it all! Located in the gated community of La Vina, this property exudes old world charm starting at the front courtyard with its pebbled mosaic design and flows into the formal entry hall. The formal living room is anchored by a fireplace, has soaring ceilings, large windows and french doors that open to the courtyard. The spacious formal dining room is nearby and offers views overlooking the backyard. An open concept kitchen with a large island, walk-in pantry and breakfast area is adjacent to the family room. The family room shares a pass through fireplace with the breakfast area and opens up the backyard, ideal for entertaining. A flex room downstairs makes for an ideal theater room or office. The 4th bedroom is downstairs as well, with an ensuite bathroom. Completing the main floor is a powder room, laundry room and direct access from the garage into the house. Upstairs is a loft area that makes for a great den or playroom and has a built-in desk. Two bedrooms are attached to the loft area and share a Jack and Jill bathroom. The primary bedroom suite is the jewel upstairs featuring a generous bedroom, built-in dresser, screened patio, and views overlooking the backyard and beyond. The primary ensuite bathroom has two sinks, separate shower and tub, sitting room and oversized walk-in closet. Keeping with the Tuscan style, carved wooden doors, accent lighting and grapevines growing over the patio add a special touch. The backyard hosts two patio areas, one covered patio off the family room and an additional patio with outdoor fireplace, the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. A beautiful water fountain adds to the backyards ambiance and the views to Catalina on a clear day. The home has 28 solar panels that are owned and paid off and a water purification system, which includes a softener plus a reverse osmosis system for pure water in the kitchen. La Vina has a community pool and children' s park. Nearby are hiking trails and Loma Alta Park, with tennis courts, picnic areas and recently refurbished playgrounds.

Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 2001, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready, with notable upgrades like owned solar panels and a water purification system. However, the kitchen features medium-toned wood cabinets, black granite countertops, and a tiled backsplash, while the bathrooms have light wood cabinets and white countertops. These elements, though clean and functional, reflect the original early 2000s aesthetic and are not consistent with recent renovations or current design trends. The property fits the 'Fair' criteria as major components are functional but show signs of being outdated in style, requiring minor updates for a modern appeal.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Sustainable Living & Modern Utilities: The property boasts 28 owned and paid-off solar panels, significantly reducing energy costs, and includes a comprehensive water purification system with softener and reverse osmosis for enhanced water quality.
Spacious & Versatile Floor Plan: Featuring 4 bedrooms and 4 baths across 4710 sqft, the home offers multiple living areas including a downstairs flex room (ideal for theater/office) with an ensuite bathroom, and an upstairs loft, providing excellent flexibility for various family needs.
Exclusive Gated Community & Amenities: Located within the desirable gated community of La Vina, residents benefit from enhanced security and access to community amenities such as a pool and children's park.
Distinctive Tuscan Architecture & Details: The home's Tuscan-inspired design, complete with a pebbled mosaic courtyard, carved wooden doors, accent lighting, and grapevines, offers unique aesthetic appeal and old-world charm.
Exceptional Outdoor Living & Views: The backyard features two patio areas (one covered), an outdoor fireplace, a water fountain, and offers views to Catalina on clear days, creating an ideal setting for entertaining and relaxation.

Cons

High Monthly Homeowners Association (HOA) Fees: The $513 monthly HOA fee is substantial and adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, which could impact affordability for some buyers.
Below-Average School District Ratings: All listed public schools (Elementary, Middle, High) have ratings of 2 or 3, which may be a deterrent for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
Moderate Lot Size for Property Scale: While 7800 sqft is a decent lot, for a 4710 sqft luxury home in Altadena, some buyers might desire a more expansive outdoor space or greater privacy, which this lot size may not fully accommodate.
