About this home

.Well preserved 1926 Spanish-style property with Mediterranean Landscape. The gated property retreats from New York Drive behind a bougainvillea-draped wall. The grounds are framed by 23 olive trees, 20 cypresses and dotted with lavender and rosemary while an expansive crushed granite driveway leads to a rear garden resembling an untamed Mediterranean landscape surrounded by 30 climbing roses and 40 camellias that provide fragrance and bloom through the seasons.Architectural Heritage & Flow. Inside, the home reveals an architectural layout benefitting from intuitive flow between the common living spaces. Old World charm is retained in the kitchen while incorporating modern conveniences such as Viking appliances. A formal dining room comfortably hosts intimate gatherings of up to eight, while the kitchen counter accommodates overflow of an additional eight guests. The home's bathrooms have been elevated by Hansgrohe fixtures and Waterworks showerhead. On the main level, the primary suite is complete with a generously sized closet and en-suite bathroom featuring a separate shower and refinished porcelain bath. Upstairs are two generously proportioned bedrooms, a secondary large full bath, and a study that is cradled by mature olive tree branches.Village Lifestyle. Within 5 minutes, a wheelchair accessible sidewalk completed in early 2020, connects you to daily groceries, local favorite Prime Pizza, natural wine purveyor and epicerie Altadena Beverage, gathering spot Bevel Coffee, and a rotation of pop-ups that include Pain Beurre--a word-of-mouth baker known for authentic Normandy-style sourdough baguettes and olive brioches. A five minute drive from Los Angeles destination restaurants Betsy and Miya.Expandable Potential Having hosted weddings and other milestone gatherings, the estate includes a rare, separate second parcel with its own distinct APN--offering the legal flexibility to construct a second ADU within Los Angeles County. Furthermore, the property enjoys a uniquely secure geographical advantage, standing as one of the furthest removed properties from the Eaton Fire burn zone within Altadena. This property offers a rare canvas for generational growth, whether your future holds multiple ADUs, poolside entertaining or large format entertaining.
