Property Description

In this quiet neighborhood just one block from the Altadena Golf Course, stands a magnificent English style home, which planted it's roots over 100 years ago. It was once the residence of Carolyn Taylor who was the niece of the famous Abolitionist William Tate. A wood beam portico graciously welcomes you & presents a regal door embraced by matching leaded windows of exquisite detail. Through the door, the pristine original oakwood flooring throughout & wood frame windows are difficult to miss in this well-lit living room. Then again, so is the rare & beautiful Batchelder tile fireplace encased in a sturdy wood mantle. Custom built-in cabinetry frames the entrance into an elegant dining room where the crown molding continues as does the custom cabinetry. The French doors open out to a covered patio, making the dining room an ideal space for both intimate gatherings & parties alike! A refreshingly open kitchen features shaker door cabinetry, quartz countertops, a custom island, built-in stainless steel appliances & a generous breakfast nook. The expansive sliding doors open onto a flagstone patio which features a unique pond & flows out to the meticulously maintained grounds featuring a sculptural avocado tree and a bevy of fruit trees including grapefruit, lemon, orange, kumquat, peach and apricot. The bonus room off the garage is perfect for an office or art studio! Upstairs you discover 2 bedrooms & a stylishly remodeled bathroom featuring white oak cabinetry, hexagon tile flooring, & marble tile wainscoting. The sizable primary suite on the first level boasts a French door that gives way to the backyard. The primary bathroom has been remodeled with a contemporary flair, yet sensitive to the period style of the home, flaunting black & white marble flooring, a spacious glass shower, custom dual vanity & a built-in linen closet. The second bedroom downstairs can serve multiple purposes & also flows outdoors. A contemporary powder room off the main hallway boasts delightful wallpaper. The darling guest house harmoniously reflects the same architectural details as the main house. The living space is blessed with a stunning fireplace, a bay window & French doors. The kitchen was remodeled, including a stunning period style backsplash, as was the bathroom.
