Built in 1915, the Waterman home stands as a testament to timeless elegance and meticulous preservation. Throughout the years, this Mission-Revival Craftsman has undergone thoughtful renovation that honors its rich heritage while seamlessly integrating modern comforts. Approaching the home, one is greeted by the inviting expanse of a deep covered porch, which wraps around the front. Renowned for its craftsmanship, this property showcases the rich hues and intricate textures of African gumwood throughout, meticulously restored to highlight the millwork details. Upon entering, the grandeur of the interior unfolds with a striking carved wood staircase, a focal point that ascends gracefully to the second floor. The expansive living room, centering on a Batchelder fireplace and featuring a pitched timber ceiling, offers a sanctuary of warmth and sophistication. The dining room captivates with sets of french doors leading to the wrap-around porch, perfect for enjoying the serene surroundings. Multiple sets of french doors throughout the home create an abundance of light. The beautifully remodeled kitchen blends modern functionality with a tailored craftsman aesthetic, boasting Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, honed granite countertops, two dishwashers and two farmhouse sinks. Off of the kitchen wing there is a pretty bedroom, surrounded by windows, with an en-suite with a bathtub and separate shower. Ascending the spectacular staircase, exquisite Asian-inspired lanterns are suspended from a pulley, original to the house. Atop the stairs, a spacious bedroom with a decorative fireplace benefits from treetop and mountain views and has its own 3/4 bath. The east wing of the home hosts the primary suite and an additional bedroom, each with fully restored bathrooms with original tubs, pedestal sinks, subway tile and built-in vanities. In the middle of the U-shaped home, a pergola-covered patio with a fountain and incredible original planters offers a tranquil outdoor retreat. A generous grassy area provides ample space for recreation or the potential for a future pool. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with winding paths surrounded by verdant native plantings and trees. This spectacular home exemplifies a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history in beautiful Altadena. The property features two driveways. One on Sonoma with an automatic gate and porte cochere and one on Mar Vista with room for a garage.
