Updated and perfected, this English cottage with finished studio and separate ADU offers location, architecture and optional income. With a captivating front garden and classic 1927 'catslide' roof and facade, this home charms from the street. Fruiting pomegranate trees, and date palm create attractive privacy while fragrant lavender and jasmine perfume the air around this renovated 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. The covered front porch with arched entry is framed by climbing roses and casement windows, lending an air of storybook fantasy. Inside, contemporary wide plank floors juxtapose with original features like plaster walls and coved tray ceilings. Views through the living room with beautiful wavy glass are leafy green and lovely. The dining room is light and bright with access to the adjacent east-facing veranda, extending entertaining space outside. The renovated kitchen with recently replaced cabinetry enjoys garden views and updated attached laundry room. Two spacious, light-filled bedrooms, and stylish bath with dual sink vanity and updated brass fixtures. Upstairs, the primary suite with generous walk-in closet, full bath, bonus finished quiet room with flexible space and additional storage. Backyard offers a private landscaped brick patio, two grassy play areas and spa. The recently finished, conditioned studio garage with wide plank flooring, storage and two sets of french doors to the garden offers a bonus family room, studio or spacious home office. Finally, the midcentury permitted ADU with kitchen, full bath and covered patio with laundry is a real asset for rental income, guests or additional living space. Less than a block from thriving local favorites Prime Pizza, Bevel Coffee, Armen Market and Altadena Beverage Company, this is a wonderful opportunity to own an updated historic property in Beautiful Altadena.
