Located in the President Streets of Altadena, this idyllic traditional has been well-loved for decades by the present owners and beautifully expanded and remodeled with luxurious finishes and modern amenities. The open floor plan is designed for entertaining with generously proportioned public rooms. The living room has a sunny bay window that overlooks the front yard, a stately fireplace with harlequin mosaic tile surround, and opens to a large formal dining room that features a vintage chandelier and sliding French doors to the side courtyard. There are rich hardwood floors throughout the public spaces that unify the design, and an airy gallery hallway connects all of the spaces. An updated kitchen with practical center island is sophisticated with dark granite counters, hand-finished cabinets, and high-end appliances including a built-in wine fridge and warming drawer. Within the kitchen there is a sunny breakfast nook with built-in banquet seating and a practical workstation for managing a busy house. A light and bright family room is separated from the kitchen by a peninsula counter ideal for pulling a stool up and keeping the chef company. The perfect place to curl up and watch a movie and with direct access through sliding French doors to the back deck, the family room embodies quintessential California living with a lovely, airy indoor/outdoor flow. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a laundry room that encompass the private space on the southeast side of the home. The very spacious primary suite includes large sleeping quarters with a bay window that features beautiful views of the back gardens, a spa-like bathroom with dual vanity and a bubble soaking tub, and a large walk-in closet outfitted with a custom closet system. The primary bedroom is also enhanced by a seamless indoor/outdoor flow though French doors. The expansive lot is well-manicured with mature gardens, verdant lawns, and a sparkling pool and spa. This gorgeous home has been thoughtfully updated and beautifully maintained by the present owners and is a really special treat!
