176 Jaxine Drive, Altadena, CA 91001 (MLS # 25606495)
Incredible Mid-Century Modern compound situated on over half an acre in the coveted upper foothills of Altadena. Conceived as a private creative retreat, the property features two distinct architect-designed residences built for the original owner, noted sculptor David Green. The main residence, designed in 1964 by Randall Makinson, AIA (renowned for his work with the Gamble House), embodies the ideals of California modernism with sculpted ceilings, clerestory windows, and walls of glass opening to a full-length deck that captures sweeping canyon vistas. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, blending artistry and livability with seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The separate 1-bedroom 1-bath guest house, designed in 1949 by Frederick Monhoff, AIA, provides its own architectural pedigree and flexible use as a studio, office, or private retreat. Lush landscaping creates a sense of privacy and sanctuary. Both updated by interior designer Matthew Sullivan (AQQ Design). Remarkably, the property was spared in the January 2025 Altadena fire sits thriving garden and thoughtful site planning offering a natural shield making it one of the rare foothill estates to emerge intact. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a pedigreed architectural compound with history, beauty, and resilience in one of Altadena's most desirable settings.
