Set on a beautiful treelined street just off historic Christmas Tree Lane, this charming 1930s Altadena home is offered as a fully furnished 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom short-term rental. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its original character, the home offers a warm, comfortable setting with furnishings, appliances, and multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces already in place.
Tucked behind mature cypress trees and established landscaping, the home welcomes you with a distinctive arched front door and a light-filled interior featuring refinished oak floors, graceful arched openings, coved ceilings, and an abundance of original architectural detail.
The spacious living room features a central fireplace, a wall of windows that brings in beautiful natural light, comfortable furnishings, and a wall-mounted television. An arched opening connects the living room to the formal dining room, creating an open yet defined entertaining space. French doors from the dining room lead directly to a covered side porch, providing a peaceful spot for morning coffee, reading, or relaxing outdoors.
The extensively remodeled kitchen combines classic design with modern convenience. Features include St. Martin walnut cabinetry, Taj Mahal stone countertops and backsplash, a professional-style gas range, dishwasher, separate full-size refrigerator and freezer columns, and abundant built-in storage. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dedicated bar and beverage area with additional walnut cabinetry, glass-front display cabinets, and a built-in wine refrigerator.
A separate breakfast nook provides an additional casual dining area and can easily double as a home office, study, or workspace.
The home offers three generously sized furnished bedrooms, each with hardwood flooring, good natural light, and closet space. The two updated bathrooms include a larger bath with a double vanity and quartz countertop, illuminated mirrors, and a tub/shower with glass enclosure, while the second bathroom features a walk-in tiled shower with glass enclosure.
A dedicated laundry area conveniently located near the kitchen includes a full-size washer and dryer along with substantial built-in cabinetry for additional storage.
The outdoor spaces are equally inviting. The landscaped front yard is framed by mature trees, roses, citrus, and established plantings. In the rear, a private brick patio with outdoor dining furniture and an outdoor fireplace provides an ideal space to enjoy. Mature landscaping and citrus trees create a quiet, private setting, while the covered side porch offers an additional outdoor retreat.
A long gated driveway provides off-street parking for the home. Please note that the detached two-car garage is not included in the lease.
