Welcome to the Meadows -- one of Altadena's most cherished and resilient neighborhoods.This beautifully updated home sits on a quiet, tree-lined street where community runs deep and the foothills feel close enough to touch. With trail access just minutes away and sparkling city-light views from the backyard, it's the rare property that delivers both serenity and connection.Inside, fresh paint, warm wood floors, and a bright, open layout create an immediate sense of home. The living room centers around a classic brick fireplace, professionally restored by Boston Brick & Stone with a new cap, smoke arrestor, and stainless steel liner -- built to last and ready to enjoy.The kitchen pairs quartz countertops with updated cabinetry and clean, modern finishes that are stylish without being trendy. Bathrooms have been thoughtfully renovated with timeless materials and quality craftsmanship throughout.Step outside to a thoughtfully designed landscape on both sides of the home. The front yard features drought-tolerant native plantings, while the terraced backyard offers distinct zones for dining, lounging, and gardening. After dark, city lights glitter below and minimal street lighting makes for genuinely exceptional stargazing. An upper platform is the neighborhood's best-kept secret for watching Fourth of July fireworks stretch across the basin.Recent infrastructure upgrades add lasting value and peace of mind: water main work with finished concrete, new gutters, and improved drainage including a graded swale for effective water management. A charming catio is a thoughtful bonus for pet owners, and a two-car garage rounds out the package.The Meadows is a neighborhood people choose carefully and stay in for decades -- a tight-knit community surrounded by nature, with the kind of quiet pride that only deepens over time. This home is ready for its next chapter.
