2132 Grand Oaks Avenue Altadena, CA 91001

Introduced from the street by birdsong and a blooming palo verde tree, this move-in-ready home has it all: mountain views, heated pool and spa enhance this beautifully updated Mid-century traditional with peaceful modern vibes and upgraded systems. While the architecture here embodies simplicity of form with clean lines and right angles, the landscaping nods to the natural beauty and organic shapes found in neighboring Eaton Canyon: sculptural granite boulders, a drought tolerant garden in myriad shades of green and striking native trees. Inside, light wide-plank wood floors are bathed in natural light from oversized windows -- the garden view from the living room is truly pretty as a picture. A decorative painted brick fireplace with raised hearth and handsome wood beam mantle offers a welcoming space to gather and host, before revealing the custom kitchen and showstopping great room. Chefs and entertainers will celebrate the kitchen's oversize waterfall island with abundant seating and storage, suite of stainless steel appliances including full height built-in beverage refrigerator. Kitchen flows into the dining area with vaulted ceilings ascending to a lightwell that opens the space in the most unexpected way with twin skylights, and a large family room with a wall of sliding glass doors that open to the backyard. The primary suite, with custom walk-in closet, nicely proportioned bath with dual sink vanity and walk-in shower with built-in bench, also enjoys direct access and views of the backyard via sliding glass door. Three additional bedrooms (one currently used as an office) and two bathrooms are well placed -- the floorplan is excellent. No comfort is lacking here, from the well-appointed laundry room to the finished two-car garage, directly accessed from inside the home. Finally: the backyard is a revelation with a majestic oak tree casting dappled shade on the broad herringbone brick patio, gravel firepit area and stunning pool and spa. Close to hiking, trails, shopping (and Altadena's burgeoning food scene!) but still removed from the urban fray, this home offers real lifestyle in an incredible setting.
