This mid-century estate expresses reverence to both architectural design and nature. Built on a mostly flat 17,750 square foot lot, the 2821 square foot residence offers four bedrooms and five baths across two thoughtfully designed floors that perfectly capture the modern California lifestyle. An easy indoor-outdoor connection defines the main level. A stacked-stone peninsula fireplace anchors the living and dining rooms, while just beyond, a genteel screened porch with polished beadboard ceiling offers space for full-scale dining overlooking the pool. The kitchen features striking emerald floors that mirror the lush landscaping, a bright skylight, stone counters and premium double ovens. Upstairs, a dramatic vaulted great room draws in light from three sides and opens onto an expansive upper terrace. The primary suite sits just off this space, featuring sliding glass doors that lead to the same wrapping terrace for sweeping pool, city and sunset views. The ensuite bath serves as a private sanctuary, complete with a corner soaking tub beneath a bank of windows. The resort-style backyard centers on a pool, lounging deck, mature trees, and a custom Japanese-inspired outdoor shower. Offering incredible versatility, the finished two-car garage features custom carriage doors and skylights, primed for a future ADU or creative studio conversion. Fully owned solar and a Tesla EV charger round out the home's forward-thinking features. A true legacy estate in a resurging pocket of Altadena, this home offers unmatched character and long-term value.
