66 E Las Flores Dr, Altadena, CA

An original Ranch home. A true step back in time. Nostalgia sweeps you away at the curb w/ this charmer behind a split rail fence, broad lawns, fruit & shade trees. A gardener's paradise with vegetable gardens, grape arbors, rose beds & private oak-shaded patios. Unusual in its state of preservation, the interior features an entry hall flanked by library (private bath makes this a great master suite) & a great room w/ stone fireplace. Formal dining room features wainscoting. Old-fashioned kitchen has a stunning working antique stove, cute color combo & pretty backyard views. A flexible floorplan makes for easy living & inter-changeable room uses. Outside, everywhere you turn, something beautiful is growing. Occupied by a CalTech glaciologist & global warming pioneer & his musician/artist wife, this is a genuine 'sustainable' home. The garden produces the majority of their food, the homemade solar provides much of their lighting needs. Copper plumbing, bolted foundation, 2-car garage.
