In the quiet foothills of Altadena, where neighborhoods are still healing from the devastation of the Eaton Fire earlier this year, a new opportunity has emerged—one that represents both elegance and renewal. For families who lost their homes or were forced to leave behind cherished memories, the newly listed estate at 1905 Midlothian Drive is more than just a house on the market. It’s a sanctuary, a place to begin again surrounded by beauty, comfort, and peace. A Home Designed for Renewal Originally built in 1928 and recently reimagined, this California-Zen Contemporary Masterpiece blends timeless architecture with modern luxury. Spanning 5,385 square feet on nearly an acre, the residence offers 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a thoughtful layout that celebrates indoor–outdoor living.
Step into the grand living spaces where floor-to-ceiling glass accordion doors open seamlessly to lush gardens and a shimmering saltwater pool. A chef’s kitchen anchors the home with a dramatic oversized island, Wolf & Sub-Zero appliances, a wet bar, and even a prep kitchen for effortless entertaining. Every corner—from the spa-like primary suite to the elegant home office with custom wood shelving—was designed with both serenity and sophistication in mind.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this property is equipped with the comforts and security families need: a gated entrance, drought-tolerant landscaping, water filtration, and power shades—all enhancing its sense of safety and resilience. Why This Home Matters Now Earlier this year, the Eaton Fire scorched over 14,000 acres in the Altadena and Pasadena foothills, claiming lives and displacing families who never imagined losing their homes. For those searching for stability and comfort in the wake of that tragedy, 1905 Midlothian Drive offers more than luxury—it offers hope.
