Altadena Real Estate Market: When the housing market peaked back in 2006, no one really thought about a long housing bust lasting up to 5 years. However, we are seeing indications that it’s a great time to buy. Why? For starters, the mortgage interest rate has been around 4.5% the first week of June 2011. And, the lower home prices make it affordable for buyers who have been carefully waiting on the side lines.

The custom kitchen is a true original, richly detailed and unmistakably one-of-a-kind, both in layout and execution. The primary suite occupies a private wing, complete with a library retreat, an ensuite bath, and a secluded patio that gazes out across a glistening, rock-edged pool. The secondary wing houses three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms, designed with both spatial harmony and architectural integrity. Outside, a rock-edged pool integrates organically with the natural setting, framed by lush, mature landscaping and the iconic lines of the home itself. A versatile bonus space provides room for a creative studio, gym, or office - all beneath the same design-forward roofline. This is not just a home, it's an experience of the rare, the authentic, and the architecturally significant integrity of post-and-beam architecture.
