*Charming Altadena Retreat with Character, Comfort, and Mountain Views*
Nestled in the scenic foothills of Altadena, this warm and welcoming 1930s traditional home blends timeless charm with modern livability. Featuring 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, the property is rich with character and thoughtful details throughout.
Step into a sun-drenched living room where original hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, and a picturesque bay window frame breathtaking mountain views. A large walk-in closet off the living area has been cleverly designed to serve as a home office, perfect for remote work or creative pursuits.
The light-filled dining room opens through French doors onto a generous deck ideal for al fresco meals, entertaining, or enjoying the serenity of the outdoors. The lush, fully fenced backyard offers multiple hangout zones, a grassy area shaded by a mature orange tree, and a versatile two-car garage currently set up as a creative or work-from-home space.
The kitchen is equipped with a commercial-grade stove and abundant cabinet storage, as well as a dedicated laundry area. Down the central hallway, you'll find a spacious vintage-style bathroom with both a soaking tub and separate shower, along with two bright and airy bedrooms that boast ample closet space and natural light.
*Post-Fire Update: Full Remediation Underway*
This home is part of a small cluster of six houses on Athens Street that miraculously sustained no physical damage during the Eaton Fire. To ensure the highest standards of safety and comfort, the property is currently undergoing comprehensive smoke damage remediation. This includes full insulation replacement, HEPA vacuuming and surface sanitation, HVAC duct cleaning and deodorization, and professional fogging treatment. It will be fully move-in ready by early July.
Tours will be available upon completion of work.
This is an ideal rental for anyone displaced by the Eaton Fire who wants to remain rooted in the Altadena community during the rebuilding process. We are deeply committed to finding a tenant who values community and is ready to help restore and reimagine what makes Altadena so special.
Owners pays for gardener, tenant is responsible for all other utilities (gas, electric, internet, trash, water, etc)
