Ensconced behind a double hedge on a sprawling corner lot in the Altadena foothills, this reimagined 1923 Spanish revival estate embodies quiet luxury. To enter this secluded property is to be transported into a verdant, private compound surrounded by lush privet, the sound of cascading fountains and a harmonious scene of warm stucco walls, terracotta roof, towering palms and the foothill vista beyond. Offering an expansive 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath main house, pool, spa, cabana and separate 1 bedroom, 2 bath guest house and 2 car garage, this country club adjacent property is truly a one of a kind. Boasting astonishing mountain views, this is possibly the best lot in Altadena. From the entry, charming details are both rustic and sophisticated: a stately veranda paved in earthy saltillo and painted spanish tile welcomes visitors with three south-facing sets of french doors. Inside, character-rich detail abounds, with soaring 9+ foot coved ceilings, grand double-sided fireplace with coveted original 1920s Batchelder surround in the family room. With hardwood floors throughout, the floor plan of this home is simply great: living and family rooms connect with circular flow and offer incredible north-south access to outdoors through walls of windows.
