Interview with the Sellers:
We bought the house based on its pure character but we loved the ‘home’ because we finished raising a family there and made it our own oasis. It is a unique style and structure with several remaining features from each generation that touched it. It holds a special place in the neighborhood. Our retreat (pool and backyard) will be missed – every day. It is a place of calm in a city that has everything.
No one likes commuting but Altadena makes this less of a burden with easy access to public transportation and freeways – without being crowded. Altadena is unique in its location, diversity, view of the beautiful San Gabriel mountains and depth of community yet still accessible. As a city of trees, Altadena is calming, family-friendly and at times historical.
