Altadena is a city in California located directly North of Pasadena. The name Altadena is derived from the Spanish word alta meaning “upper” and dena which is short for the word Pasadena. Altadena is approximately 14 miles from the Downtown Los Angeles Civic Center. About 42,000 inhabitants live in this community.
History
In 1880, Frederick Woodbury and his brother John of Iowa, purchased 937 acres of land in California that later developed into the city of Altadena. They contacted a man named Byron O. Clark and asked if they could use the name Altadena for their plot of land known as the Woodbury Subdivision. Byron agreed, and the new Altadena community immediately started to boom! Wealthy millionaires from the East like Andrew McNally and G. G. Green built mansions along a street known as Mariposa near Santa Rosa. The Millionaire’s Row, another name for the wealthy street of mansions, got Altadena underway to its success. Over many years Pasadena wanted to annex Altadena, but by 1956 community campaigns stopped all of Pasadena’s attempts. If the annexation had succeeded, Pasadena would be the 108th largest city in the United States.

Activities & Attractions
Echo Mountain via the Sam Merrill Trail – See Reviews! – A beautiful hike for the outdoor types! It is a tiring hike, but it seems to be all worth it when you get to the top, and see a breathtaking panoramic view of L.A. The hike is an approximate 5.8 mile hike of winding switchbacks. You are bound to see dogs, horses, bikers, and of course other hikers along the trail. Some tips: hike in the morning before the heat caves in and to avoid crowds, sunblock, lots of water, food for a picnic, comfortable shoes, and a camera for the the amazing views! Super King Market – See Reviews! – “Clean, fresh, super good prices” What more can you ask for? From what I hear this supermarket is a favorable place with extremely affordable prices and daily fresh produce.Golf anyone? Here’s some information on Altadena & Eaton Canyon Golf Courses

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.
