Welcome to 1981 Sinaloa Avenue, a beautifully maintained Mid-Century Ranch nestled in the heart of South Central Altadena. Built in 1947, this single-level gem features 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 well-appointed bathrooms, and 1,823 sq ft of living space, all on a generous 10,645 sq ft lot. Tastefully updated and fully remediated, this move-in ready home blends timeless design with modern comforts, including beautiful hardwood floors, a brand-new HVAC system with all-new ducting, and a detached garage with a large bonus addition—ideal for a home office, workshop, studio, or flex space. The expansive lot offers abundant possibilities: build an ADU, add a pool, or take advantage of RV or boat parking. The front and rear gardens are professionally landscaped for year-round enjoyment. Enjoy close proximity to hiking trails, local schools, and the charm of Altadena’s vibrant community. Note: The temporary debris removal site at Altadena Golf Course is in its final stages, with demobilization underway by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Restoration of the golf course is expected to begin in Fall 2025, marking a positive step in the area's recovery and revitalization.
