3042 N Olive Ave House

One of a kind: an Altadena modern storybook home with ADU, pool, spa and a finished garage work space! Set back from the street behind a handsome wood fence, blooming California native plants and mature evergreen trees, this 1925-built property was... fully remodeled in 2020. Boasting character features of a storybook cottage exterior -- high pitched, cross hipped roof and wide front sitting porch -- the home is all modern convenience inside. Wide plank engineered wood floors, natural light and stylish contemporary fixtures define the open plan public spaces inside. Living room offers a decorative painted brick fireplace with a beautiful stone inlay hearth and wide display mantle. Living flows into the adjacent dining and kitchen areas. The kitchen is a chef's dream, with a double-wide island, a well-proportioned 'triangle', classic shaker-style cabinetry, subway backsplash and organic open shelving. The dining area has space to accomodate a large table, and the oversized kitchen peninsula also offers a breakfast bar with space for two to sit comfortably. Four bedrooms, three with direct access to en-suite baths, are well-proportioned and comfortable. The primary suite, with walk-in closet and generous bathroom boasting dual sink vanity and large walk-in shower, enjoys access to a large sitting deck through east-facing sliding doors. Windows throughout are upgraded dual-pane with interior shutters - ease and convenience! A large closet with side-by-side washer and dryer complete the main house. Outside, the fully landscaped and hardscaped back yard with sitting and dining areas act as a buffer between the house and the garage/work studio and ADU. The large, finished 2 car garage boasts windows and a door in addition to the automatic door -- it's a real work-from-home dream! Adjoining the garage: the 400 SF guest studio offers a full kitchen and an additional full bath. Finally, a fenced newly-constructed (2022) pool and spa with baja shelf and lounging area offers high-end backyard party vibes. This fully fenced, landscaped, nicely remodeled property is move-in ready, and located in a fantastic pocket of West Altadena close to parks, coffee shops, restaurants, retail and many trailheads. What a gem. Read More
