Nestled in the foothills of Altadena near scenic hiking and nature trails, this updated traditional home blends timeless charm with a modern open layout. Originally designed by Robert E. Williams--an early partner in the notable firm Train & Williams--and first built by W. E. G. Saunders, the home offers both architectural significance and everyday comfort. At its heart is a dramatic great room with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, French doors to the backyard, and large windows that fill the space with natural light. The chef's kitchen features a center island, breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, and granite counters. Additional highlights include a formal living room with wall-to-wall bookcases and fireplace, an oversized dining room, and a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet, spa tub, and travertine finishes. Two more generously sized bedrooms and 1.5 additional baths offer flexibility for guests or work-from-home. Hardwood floors, crown molding, recessed lighting, and thoughtful updates run throughout. A finished 550 sq ft two-car garage includes an EV charger. Surrounded by mature trees with views of the mountains, this home is a peaceful retreat in a coveted foothill location.
