Set against the San Gabriels on Altadena’s west side, 834 W Altadena Drive brings together character, space, and modern updates in a way that feels both inviting and practical. Past the redwood gate and sunny front door, you’re welcomed into a light-filled living room with hardwood floors and a clean, Scandinavian vibe. Two bedrooms (one with a hand-painted mural) and a full bath sit off the main space, while the kitchen has stainless appliances and a wine fridge. In the back wing, you’ll find a vaulted family room made for movie nights, a spacious primary suite, second bath, and a flexible laundry area that could double as a wet bar or pantry.
The garage has been converted into a music studio with insulation, mini-split, and laundry hookups—perfect for creative work, a home office, or a guest space. Out back, the yard leans into the Altadena lifestyle with fruit trees, veggie beds, and a chicken coop (five chickens that would love for you to adopt them). Weekend dinners on the patio come with San Gabriel Mountain views.
Recent updates include a Level 2 EV charger, whole-house water and air filtration, fresh paint, and a post-fire refresh with new insulation and blinds. You’re close to trailheads, coffee shops, Florecita Farms, and JPL—and don’t be surprised if you see neighbors riding by on horseback. Rural charm with city convenience, ready for what’s next.
