Step back in time and into the realm of enduring craft and sophistication with the historic Waterman home, built in 1915. This architectural expression embodies a seamless blend of classic grace and historical drama. The historic Altadena Mission-Revival Craftsman home has undergone thoughtfully crafted renovations that tastefully uphold its time-honored.

The magnificence of this property greets you straight from the exterior with a broad sprawling porch that welcomes you to an inviting world of grandeur and fine craftsmanship. The rich hues of meticulously restored African gumwood clad the walls of the double-height living room, which is highlighted by a dramatic brick fireplace with Batchelder tile insets.

A grand, beautifully carved wooden staircase spirals up elegantly to the second floor. A striking pitched timber ceiling adds to the captivating space, which includes details like corbels, a stained-glass window, wide molding and original Asian-inspired lanterns, adding a touch of exotic appeal to the space.

The kitchen is a harmonious blend of modern and traditional, beautifully updated with a Wolf range, Sub-Zero appliances, honed granite countertops, and a farmhouse sink.

A charming bedroom off the kitchen wing is enveloped by multiple windows and a period en-suite bathroom. The east wing of the home hosts the regal primary suite plus an additional bedroom with fully restored bathrooms, including original tubs, pedestal sinks, subway tile and built-in vanities.

Externally, the U-shaped home wraps around a serene pergola-covered patio, boasting an original fountain and planters. The beautifully landscaped grounds create a dreamlike atmosphere with winding paths surrounded by lush native plantings and trees. With treetop views of the majestic mountains beyond, the potential for adding a pool would complete this tranquil outdoor retreat. The historic Waterman Home presents an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of architectural history in the heart of Altadena.
