1928 N Holliston AVE Altadena, CA 91001

Framed under a canopy of majestic Deodar and Magnolia trees, this 1946 shingled cottage is enchanting. Boasting views of the foothills from the grassy front yard landscaped with ferns and flowering shrubs, the home's gently curving path leads to a welcoming covered front porch entry. Inside, gleaming warm hardwood floors set the tone, and stunning leafy green backyard views capture attention through an unexpected wall of windows. Living room is spacious with a decorative brick fireplace and built-in bookshelves, distinguishable as original millwork with classic 1940s curved corners. Dining room is contiguous to the living room, and enjoys lush garden views through a picture windows spanning the eastern side of the home. Down the hallway with ample built-in storage, find two bedrooms on the west side of the home: a nicely sized primary bedroom with walk-in closet, and a second quiet bedroom with lovely northwest exposure imparts a sense of quiet relaxation. Full bath with organic textured shower and floor tile is clean and simple, with finishes that call to mind the colors of the garden and nature outside. An updated kitchen with attractive ceramic tile backsplash and granite counters is adjacent to the dining room, but also offers access to the backyard via sliding door -- the temptation to dine and entertain outside is irresistible here. Mature twin Japanese maple trees anchor the garden, against a backdrop of morning glory, grasses in shades of green and white, sculptural boulders and two large grassy areas. Don't miss the convenient potting shed on the north side of the home! Finally, enter the finished two-car garage offering myriad potential: workshop, creative studio, ADU -- with ample parking under the carport, this garage is a fabulous bonus to be enjoyed at this truly special property. Located in a beloved neighborhood, moments from the Altadena Town and Country Club, all of the wonderful offerings on Lake Avenue and Mariposa Village, convenient to shopping, biking and hiking trails, there's just so much to enjoy here.
