3617 CANYON CREST RD | ALTADENA | ART STUDIO Sold $1,370,000

Description

This inspiring Spanish retreat was originally built in 1910, and over the past two decades the home has been completely restored, updated, and ushered into its current configuration as an idyllic artists’ compound. Character details abound with curved archways, Spanish tile, hardwood floors, exposed beams, the home’s original fireplace, custom woodwork, and floods of natural light. Balconies from both floors offer tranquil outdoor access from the living room, den, and bedrooms. The outdoor space is particularly special, with a large in-ground pool surrounded by a lush and expansive yard and inviting front patio. The detached garage has been converted to a high-ceiling artists’ studio, a space home to many years of prolific work. In a place where parking is at a premium, up to six cars can be parked in the driveway. Set above Millard Canyon on a lot that spans nearly two acres, 3617 Canyon Crest boasts ethereal views from all over the home, each window cloaked with greenery set against clear skies.
