Mar Vista is just such a street in this Altadena Country Club neighborhood. 2174 Mar Vista is a perfect example of a lovely house showing off its character with the benefit of a well-deserved face lift. This classic 1949 home has been shaped up and dressed to impress. The original rooms have been opened up for a free flowing floor plan featuring a renovated kitchen and eating bar facing out into a broad living room where light streams in through an expansive picture window looking out to the backyard. The kitchen has been updated with all new cabinetry, stone countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances.The living room leads to an elegant formal dining room that connects to a den/play room or office leading out to the backyard. Both bathrooms have been renovated from top to bottom including all tile and granite surfaces.The carefully refinished hardwood floors give off warmth and charm. A lot of thought went into each room so that every member of this home's new owners will have a special place. Make it your special place!
