Experience the perfect fusion of classic style and grand scale in this stunning 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath Monterey Colonial estate, situated on a quiet corner of Midlothian Dr. near the prestigious Altadena Town and Country Club. Built in 1930 on a generous .71-acre lot, this 4,245 SF home offers a blend of classic architectural detail and modern luxury. A long brick pathway to the front door flanked by mature camellias and azaleas, offers mountain views and a backdrop of tall, swaying palms. The first floor features a formal entry and hardwood floors throughout. The living room features a fireplace and large bay window. Designed for both sophisticated entertaining and comfortable family life, this home provides dedicated spaces for work and relaxation: a library with classic wood paneling, a family room featuring beamed ceilings, built-in cabinetry and two desk spaces, each with a fireplace, and a massive slider opening to the rear yard. Step into the gourmet kitchen featuring quartz countertops, large pantry, and charming breakfast nook with storage underneath the seating area, high-end appliances, including a Sub-Zero fridge/freezer and wine fridge, Bosch dishwasher, and a built-in microwave - all centered around a fabulous vintage Magic Chef stove with six gas burners and four oven compartments. A Butler's pantry and a separate, large laundry room enhance functionality. The formal dining room boasts wainscotting, large windows, and a crystal chandelier. Upstairs, the spacious, light-filled primary suite features an updated bath and spacious walk-in closet. The landing has French doors leading to a veranda spanning the entire frontage and shared by another bedroom. The expansive, resort-like rear yard is a true oasis. It features a saltwater, heated pool with spa and diving board. The landscaping includes wide-open spaces along with rose bushes, olive and citrus trees. A Viking stainless steel built-in BBQ with concrete countertops and a separate charcoal smoker grill complete the outdoor kitchen. A detached two-car garage accompanies a 356 SF game room/pool house with a full bedroom and 3/4 bath, offering ideal space for guests or recreation. Additional amenities include an extended gated driveway large enough for RV parking, newer roof, dual zone HVAC, and updated electrical panel. This extraordinary estate with enduring elegance is an entertainment haven. This is a rare opportunity to own a unique home on the market for the second time in almost 75 years.
