I had an opportunity to see this property through a home buyer<\/a> <\/strong>showing request, and what a surprise it turned out to be. I have never seen any home like this in Altadena<\/a><\/strong>. I would call it a \u201cunique and eclectic.\u201d<\/p>\n

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<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Then, you come across a playhouse, workshop, large garage with sliding doors, inviting patio area, and finally \u201cVualla.\u201d A charming cottage with two separate living spaces greets you. The kitchen is located on first floor and the bedrooms are located upstairs.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s chef\u2019s kitchen amenities.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The home has been meticulously kept by the current owner. The property shows outstandingly well \u2013 great craftsmanship and preservation of home is evident.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
