Welcome to this Altadena charmer, where classic 1940s craftsmanship meets thoughtful modern living. This inviting 3-bedroom, 1-bath home spans 1,141 sq. ft. on a 5,727 sq. ft. lot, offering the perfect balance of comfort, functionality, and Southern California style. Step inside and be greeted by the warmth of original hardwood floors and a cozy gas fireplace — ideal for cool evenings or quiet moments at home. Updated vinyl double-pane windows and recently blown-in insulation ensure year-round comfort, while the brand-new roof on both the home and detached garage (replaced in Oct 2025) brings added peace of mind and value. The modernized kitchen shines with quartz countertops, a glass tile backsplash, soft-closing cabinetry, and recessed lighting. With generous counter space and ample storage, it’s designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The bathroom has been stylishly refreshed with tile flooring, a granite countertop, and a tiled shower enclosure, blending elegance and practicality. Enjoy the convenience of a separate laundry room, ceiling fans in most rooms, and two spacious storage sheds. The detached garage presents excellent ADU potential, offering future expansion or rental income opportunities. The private backyard is ideal for weekend barbecues, gatherings, or simply unwinding beneath the California sky. Located just minutes from the world-famous Rose Bowl, Old Town Pasadena, and popular hiking trails, this home captures the best of Altadena living. With easy access to the 210 freeway and nearby John Muir Magnet High School, you’ll find both convenience and community at your doorstep. This Altadena gem delivers the perfect blend of charm, location, and modern upgrades — a rare opportunity for those seeking a move-in-ready home in one of the San Gabriel Valley’s most coveted neighborhoods.
