Welcome to 2040 N Madison Ave, a spacious contemporary Spanish-style home on a large private lot in one of Altadena's most charming neighborhoods. Set behind a lush privacy hedge and courtyard wall, the home's front sitting garden offers respite and charm. Character details including abundant bougainvillea, repeating arches, and niches with inset tile work nod to history and complement modern updates. Enter through the home's airy foyer into the expansive great room where you'll find an updated open plan chef's kitchen, dining, and living spaces ideal for entertaining and day to day living alike. Behind the living room, a wall of glass doors opens to the park-like backyard boasting outdoor dining spaces, a grassy lawn, citrus and avocado trees, and a full size heated pool and spa. The king-sized primary bedroom features a charming glass clerestory window and east facing glass double doors offering direct access to the backyard, plus an updated bath with Graff and Kohler fixtures. Two additional bedrooms and an updated second bath are spacious, fresh and bathed in natural light, with dual pane windows and skylight. This gracious home also includes a separate family room (an additional 348 SF), a finished attic bonus space (262 SF), and a detached backyard office shed (124 SF) for total work-from-home convenience. You'll never want to leave, but if you can pull yourself away, 2040 N Madison is a stone's throw from great local shops and restaurants in Altadena and North Pasadena, hiking trails, Christmas Tree Lane, and so much more. Don't miss this special opportunity.
