279 W. Calaveras Street
I had an opportunity to see this property through a home buyer showing request, and what a surprise it turned out to be. I have never seen any home like this in Altadena. I would call it a “unique and eclectic.”
This home is nestled behind a wood fence,and surrounded by tall oak, palm and redwood trees. As you step onto the lush, manicured grounds; journey past the pleasant front lawn and pond with goldfish swimming freely, you would think you were in a secret retreat in Altadena.
Then, you come across a playhouse, workshop, large garage with sliding doors, inviting patio area, and finally “Vualla.” A charming cottage with two separate living spaces greets you. The kitchen is located on first floor and the bedrooms are located upstairs.
The kitchen has been updated tastefully to keep the integrity of the property. It is spacious, with a cozy eating area. You get the feel like you are cooking in a cabin, so to speak, it has that comfy cabin feel with today’s chef’s kitchen amenities.
Take the stairs to the deck, and a door takes you to the living room, which is comfortable with a thought out sitting area. Adjacent is a petite bedroom that would be perfect for a den/office. The master is roomy with many windows offering majestic views looking out to the trees, it feels very mystical, and relaxing.
The home has been meticulously kept by the current owner. The property shows outstandingly well – great craftsmanship and preservation of home is evident.
Features:
□ Built 1914
□ 2 Bed and 1.5 Bathrooms
□ Hot Tub
□ Living area 1,093 SF (taped)
□ 2 Car Garage
□ Lot size 10,100 SF
□ $389,000
This unique Craftsman cottage was originally built as caretaker’s quarters for the 2 acre Beals Ranch. It’s in great condition, and truly feels like a custom built cabin.
The main house entry also has a wonderful large patio that will entice you to eat outdoors. Other features include an outdoor Jacuzzi, hammock areas, and garden.

A perfect Altadena Spanish! This pristine example of Spanish revival architecture has all the hallmarks of 1920s construction: hand-formed curves, troweled walls and handsome clay tile roof. The harmony of triple arches at the entry and gently pitched roof is complemented by alluring 'cat face' textured stucco exterior, an uncanny reflection of the decomposed granite path to the front door. The color palette here is earthy and alluring: cafe con leche walls, red grape trim and persimmon front door lead to a velvety warmwhite interior with light golden oak floors. Restraint of finishes inside allows the architecture to shine: coved ceilings with recessed trays and arched fireplace with stacked plaster mantle are perfect in their simplicity of form. A stunning arched picture window in the living room truly does offer the garden as art...and opposite: the right-sized dining room is a comfortable place to entertain and enjoy the peaceful vibe of this special home. Color enters the room in the adjoining updated kitchen, with rich emerald tile countertops, stainless appliances, two gleaming porcelain Shaws sinks and access to the generous backyard deck. The full bath, also updated with consideration, offers an arched shower tiled in sea glass green and built-in storage. Two bedrooms with dual-direction window exposure enjoy garden views and ample natural light. The hallway built-in linen cupboard and office nook are charming original features that have been miraculously preserved. Outdoor spaces here are private, offering room for dining, entertaining and quiet enjoyment, including ornamental, native and edible garden plantings. Chefs and entertainers will appreciate the outdoor kitchen sink and counter, as well as the grill-ready gas line piped to the back deck. Parking is easy in the driveway with automatic gate, or in the updated two-car garage outfitted with lighting and electrical - an easy-access bonus work/studio space ready to go. Close to all hiking, parks, farmer's market, coffee, restaurants and more to come in burgeoning artsy Altadena, it just doesn't get better than this.

Introduced from the street by birdsong and a blooming palo verde tree, this move-in-ready home has it all: mountain views, heated pool and spa enhance this beautifully updated Mid-century traditional with peaceful modern vibes and upgraded systems. While the architecture here embodies simplicity of form with clean lines and right angles, the landscaping nods to the natural beauty and organic shapes found in neighboring Eaton Canyon: sculptural granite boulders, a drought tolerant garden in myriad shades of green and striking native trees. Inside, light wide-plank wood floors are bathed in natural light from oversized windows -- the garden view from the living room is truly pretty as a picture. A decorative painted brick fireplace with raised hearth and handsome wood beam mantle offers a welcoming space to gather and host, before revealing the custom kitchen and showstopping great room. Chefs and entertainers will celebrate the kitchen's oversize waterfall island with abundant seating and storage, suite of stainless steel appliances including full height built-in beverage refrigerator. Kitchen flows into the dining area with vaulted ceilings ascending to a lightwell that opens the space in the most unexpected way with twin skylights, and a large family room with a wall of sliding glass doors that open to the backyard. The primary suite, with custom walk-in closet, nicely proportioned bath with dual sink vanity and walk-in shower with built-in bench, also enjoys direct access and views of the backyard via sliding glass door. Three additional bedrooms (one currently used as an office) and two bathrooms are well placed -- the floorplan is excellent. No comfort is lacking here, from the well-appointed laundry room to the finished two-car garage, directly accessed from inside the home. Finally: the backyard is a revelation with a majestic oak tree casting dappled shade on the broad herringbone brick patio, gravel firepit area and stunning pool and spa. Close to hiking, trails, shopping (and Altadena's burgeoning food scene!) but still removed from the urban fray, this home offers real lifestyle in an incredible setting.
