The entrance of this Altadena home, about 15 miles away from Los Angeles, is framed by period-correct reeded glass panels. The front door is a deep orange, a warm invitation to the rest of the house. 

The bright living room features hardwood floors and a beamed ceiling, as well as easy access to the deck. 

The white brick fireplace, flanked by built-in shelves, is the centerpiece of the living room. 

The dining area, set against the reeded glass panels of the front entrance, sits right outside the colorful kitchen. 

The kitchen, which is filled with playful mint tones, has a view into the backyard and features a patterned tile floor. 

A deep orange reading nook sits right beside the kitchen. 

The hallway leading into the second bedroom has additional storage cabinets. 

The second bedroom has windows looking out into the verdant backyard. 

The top-floor bathroom features patterned tile floors and a raised bowl sink. 

The deck wraps around the back of the home to create an elevated walkway. 

The master bedroom has a protected deck, as well as views into the yard and beyond to the San Gabriel Mountains. 

The bedroom is light filled and airy, with easy access to the rest of the home. 

The wooden slats of the deck meet a stone patio—perfect for al fresco meals set against the backdrop of the lush backyard.

The home has a concrete walkway from the deck to the backyard for easy access to both outdoor spaces. 

The backyard is split into two sections, with stone pebbles filling the upper area, and natural greenery occupying the lower.  

The upper area of the backyard is perfect for entertaining and taking in the San Gabriel Mountains. 

The backyard’s stone walkway leads into the guest suite, which features one bedroom and one bathroom.

The guest bedroom is steps away from the backyard, and features original shelving for storage needs. 

The backyard is perfectly set up for outdoor entertaining—or just a midday lounge.
