Wow, wow, and wow. I saw several great starter homes in Altadena today, all under $500,000. One property was a cute traditional home with a large lot, over 8,000 square feet, for under $400,000. And this home was not some ugly short sale and REO property. With great interest rates and affordable homes on the market, I had to introduce three homes I previewed at Broker’s Open House.

Sited on over a third of an acre, this Grande Dame has celebrated her 100th birthday! Built in 1922, this bungalow has been loved by the current owner for over 50 years and is looking forward to being lovingly restored. Beginning with the decomposed granite driveway, this property is as much about the nature that surrounds it as its gracious presentation. Entering through what has been used as the dining room, you'll notice the soaring ceilings, lovely original windows with side lights and the sweet built-ins on either side of the front door. The living room has a dramatic vaulted ceiling and more wonderful windows from 'back in the day'. The stained glass (made by the current owner) surrounds a door that opens to, what used to be, a Juliet balcony. The alcove, with the beautiful green and blue glass bottle window, used to be the front door entrance. Under the carpet appear to be lovely dark hardwood floors (corners have been pulled up in the dining and living rooms). The kitchen has groovy yellow flower wallpaper and flooring to match! A true 60's redo. Off of the kitchen is a great room with sliding glass doors to the yard. The main floor is completed by an enormous main bedroom, one additional bedroom and two baths. There is also a very spacious basement with an additional bath. The incredible yard has so much to offer so bring your green thumb and a hammer, this is such a fun project! Roof and AC are relatively new. Inspections are available. Home has just been fumigated. Agent has no knowledge of any permits.
