A gated California Mediterranean estate in the foothills of Altadena has been listed for $3,995,000 by Lisa Zastrow and Heather Scherbert, agents affiliated with the La Cañada Flintridge office of Coldwell Banker Realty. Located at 2217 Crescent Dr. in Altadena, Calif., the approximately 5,917-square-foot residence has five bedrooms, four bathrooms and three half baths.
“The property owners had moved out in anticipation of listing the property for sale last year and even hosted an estate sale on January 2 and 3, 2025, just days before the Eaton Fire. When the fire broke out, the owner opened the electrical privacy gate before vacating, which allowed the fire department to successfully defend and protect the property,” said Zastrow. “Over a year later, the estate is still in stunning condition.”
Set on an expansive, private lot, the property was built in 2009 and offers a seamless connection to nature with dramatic panoramas spanning mountains, treetops and lush green surroundings. The residence is defined by exceptional finishes, including recurring arches, open wood-beamed and trussed ceilings and custom wrought-iron work. A dramatic two-story entry with a grand staircase and wood-paneled ceiling is adjacent to the wood-paneled library with a fireplace. The formal living room boasts travertine floors, rich wood beams, a stone fireplace mantle, picturesque windows and sliding doors to the covered patio. Central to the home, the gourmet kitchen features a large island and breakfast nook that flows effortlessly to outdoor verandas and a built-in barbecue. A formal dining room has seamless hand-plastered barrel ceilings and sliding glass doors. Down a few steps, a comfortable family room with travertine floors has two sets of sliding doors to the backyard and side yard with a basketball court.
The main residence features five bedroom suites, highlighted by a secluded primary retreat occupying its own level to maximize the breathtaking views, balcony, fireplace and sitting room. The upper level consists of a dedicated secondary wing featuring its own den. There are two laundry rooms on each level. Designed for grand-scale entertaining, the grounds feature covered verandas, lush landscaping and a vast lower-level yard. A full guest house provides a private sanctuary for visitors, complete with vaulted wood ceilings, a fireplace, kitchenette and full bathroom. Two separate garages offer ample storage.
