Just as this Buff, Smith and Hensman-designed home was set to hit the market, the Eaton Fire devastated Altadena while sparing the property. The owners had spent one final Christmas there with their grown children, fully expecting to list it in early 2025. Instead, they spent the next year rehabilitating the home, adding a new roof, pool, fencing, flooring, walls and more. Located on one of Altadena's premier view lots at 1724 East Loma Alta Dr., this four-bedroom, three-bathroom mid-century modern masterpiece is now listed for $2,495,000 by Julie Milbrodt, a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialist affiliated with the La Cañada Flintridge office of Coldwell Banker Realty.
“Thoughtfully renewed by its current owners, the home has been meticulously restored and refined, honoring its architectural pedigree while embracing the rhythms of modern life,” said Milbrodt. “From the moment you step inside, mid-century design announces itself with quiet confidence: clean lines, warm materials and rooms that breathe outward toward the landscape. This home is a rare convergence of architectural legacy, considered craftsmanship and breathtaking views. This is Altadena living at its finest.”
Filled with natural light, a dramatic step-down living room serves as the heart of the home, anchored by slate steps, a striking rock fireplace and soaring mahogany-paneled vaulted ceilings. Expansive walls of glass frame sweeping views, with the San Gabriel Valley providing a breathtaking backdrop to the lush, water-wise landscaped grounds and fully renovated pool and spa. With vaulted mahogany ceilings, walls of glass and serene views of the backyard and city beyond, the private primary suite offers custom built-ins, including a headboard, nightstands and cabinetry, as well as a bright spa-inspired bathroom with dual sink areas, a dedicated vanity and separate tiled tub and shower. The fully renovated kitchen features all-new appliances, sleek floating shelving and clean-lined finishes with maple cabinetry and pure white quartz countertops. A dining area has a half-wall of built-in maple cabinetry. Other highlights include terrazzo flooring, a decorative block wall, solar panels, Lutron lighting throughout, skylights, an alarm system, finished garage, fire sprinklers and a new roof installed in 2026.
