This Victorian/Craftsman transitional home is located on one of the most desirable streets in east Altadena, close to the mountains. The home was built in 1900 for Walter I. Allen, the son of William Allen, founder of the Sphinx Ranch, which at one time covered most of what is now eastern Altadena. Spacious rooms with high ceilings, large windows, and 4 fireplaces make this a great home for family and entertaining. The home retains much of the original detail (built-in cabinets, moldings, a large unfinished attic,and extra large windows), and also boasts many upgrades including a solar hot water system, extra large laundry room, insulated exterior walls, updated plumbing, and updated electrical. The oversized lot features mature trees, wooded areas, a workshop behind the garage and ample room for a swimming pool, garden, or other hobbies. This is the first time it has been on the market in over 30 years!
