Tucked away at the top of Altadena's Christmas Tree Lane, this 1959 mid-century ranch rambler offers a private retreat sheltered under the giant deodars. Indoor outdoor living is the theme throughout with walls of glass and plentiful windows that bring leafy lemon tree and sparkling pool views to mingle with the mid-century details of the interior. Gated entry encloses the large front yard with room for grassy play, dining and mountain and starlight views. An expansive flagstone dining patio provides the perfect spot for lively summer evenings. Mid-century vibes abound with board and batten siding and a natural wood flat panel front door with horizontal line detail and long vertical window. Inside, an open plan design with vaulted beamed ceilings and centerpiece flagstone fireplace with slate-topped bench hearth continue the vibe. Spacious galley kitchen updated with newer cabinetry and bright white quartz counters opens to the dining room highlighted by a sputnik lighting and courtyard views. Public spaces are generous, including a comfy living room and sunroom, and flow to the large backyard entertaining area with sparkling pool with diving board, expansive stone patio, redwood-style deck with spa and grassy play area. Bedrooms are large and roomy, especially the primary suite, and there is plenty of closet space. Two car garage is attached and laundry is just off the kitchen area. The charm of the Christmas Tree Lane location is only matched by its convenience to Mariposa Village with local favorites like Cafe de Leche, Fox's, Amara Kitchen, El Patron and Rancho Bar. Systems are updated including newer roof, insulation, ducting, HVAC, windows, plumbing, pool equipment and more.
