The Alta Pine Compound

1081 Alta Pine Drive, Altadena

QUIET, PEACEFUL ALTADENA COMPOUND.

Nestled amongst the trees at 1400 feet this unique property is well situated on a Private Road in beautiful Altadena. The main house, built in 1950, offers sweeping views of Rubio Canyon and the San Gabriel Mountains to the North, and a generous gated front yard to the South. The over sized living room, master bedroom and galley kitchen (with eat in nook) open up to a large terrace for ultimate indoor/outdoor living. The kitchen is well appointed with gleaming cork floors, white quartz counters and beautiful antique tiles. The den, with built in desk also features a large walk in closet, making this room suitable as a third bedroom if one so desired. The den is presently being used as a den/TV area. The theme of large open windows continues throughout this room which also features a double sided fireplace into the living room. The bathroom just off the den features marble flooring throughout and a mosaic shower with a solar sky light.

The master bedroom has two walls of large windows with a beautiful view of the San Gabriel Mountains from the comfort of your bed. The second bedroom is generously sized, as is the master, and includes 50’s curved built in shelves on two walls. The “pink” bathroom has an oversized skylight that opens if you like a breeze, and solid mahogany “medicine chest” with glass shelves and mirrored backing.

Walk out of any of the three doors that lead to the outdoor patio and relax and enjoy the breathtaking views of the pool, lush cactus and succulent gardens with the mountains as your backdrop. The oversized pool, with curved steps at both the shallow and deep ends, was once the pool that all the neighborhood kids learned to swim in. A Palm Springs inspired pool house, complete with walls of glass and girls and boys changing rooms offers the perfect spot for shaded play.

In 1965 a second house was built at the back of this uniquely shaped, half acre plus property. This two story post and beam gem has its main living space on top and a play room and storage room below. The top floor includes a bright living room with a newly remodeled kitchen, walls of glass and tongue and groove ceilings. The guest house has one bedroom with a sliding door that opens onto one of the two balconies that run the length of the upper floor guest house. There is a generous size bathroom complete with tub featuring beautiful tile mosaic. Access hiking trails right out your front door from this sweet, period back house.

An artist’s studio with 3 full walls of glass and mountain views sits just behind the two car garage at the front of the property. There are also 4 parking spaces in front of the house.
