2525 Highland AVE Altadena, CA 91001

This romantic Craftsman, built in 1914, is located on one of Altadena's most sought-after streets in the esteemed Country Club neighborhood. In near original condition, it has been in the same family since the early 1930s. The sprawling front porch leads to a light-filled floor plan offering grand public rooms and charming character details. Beyond the formal living and dining rooms, there are four spacious bedrooms, two and three-quarter baths, retro kitchen and breakfast room, plus a back porch overlooking the extensive site. The upper level bedroom, complete with an en suite bath, has treetop views of the neighborhood and the San Gabriel Mountains. Authentic period features - two fireplaces, rich crown moldings, deep baseboards, plaster walls, vintage lighting, built-in cabinetry, double hung wood windows and hardwood floors - exemplify the high-quality construction of a bygone era. Additional amenities include fresh interior and exterior paint, retrofitted foundation, large walk-out basement, two carports and double garage with attached workshop and storage room. The enchanting gardens reveal a series of spaces that cascade with the natural slope, connected by pathways that lead through camellias, avocados, wisteria and citrus. A flat grassy area, surrounded by mature plantings, is an ideal space for play, while the brick patio is well-suited for outdoor dining and entertaining. Here is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a ''forever home'' in an idyllic setting.
