$2.4 Million Homes in California

Altadena | $2.365 Million

A 1917 Craftsman bungalow with five bedrooms and two bathrooms, on a 0.4-acre lot

This house, among the first to be built on its street, is a few blocks from Lake Avenue, one of the area’s main thoroughfares. It is less than a 10-minute walk from a coffee shop, a hardware store and a Thai restaurant, and within a 15-minute walk of a public library and an Aldi supermarket. Charles S. Farnsworth Park, which has an amphitheater and a playground, is about a five-minute drive.

Pasadena is less than 15 minutes away by car. Driving to Dodger Stadium or downtown Los Angeles takes about half an hour.

Size: 2,744 square feet

Price per square foot: $862

Indoors: A river-rock wall separates the property from the street, and a paved path leads across the yard, stepping up to a covered porch.

The front door opens directly into a living room with original hardwood floors and woodwork, a fireplace with a brick surround, a built-in bench and an Arts and Crafts ceiling fixture. Through a wide doorway is a study with built-in bookshelves and cabinetry. Through another wide doorway is a dining room with more original woodwork, including a built-in sideboard.

The dining room connects to a kitchen with butcher block counters, stainless steel appliances and a white tile backsplash. A breakfast area and a laundry room with a side-by-side washer and dryer are off the kitchen.

A bedroom currently used as a den is also in this part of the house. Next door is a full bathroom with a wall-mounted sink and a claw-foot soaking tub.
