Altadena CA | Christmas Lights at The Balian House and Christmas Tree Lane     If you are in the greater Los Angeles County area during the holiday season, I believe you should make the trip to Altadena near the San Gabriel Foothills to see two of the most spectacular display of Christmas lights.  I wrote of both of these in an earlier post Seeing The Christmas Lights In and Around Pasadena CA December 2014.     Balian House is located on Mendocino Lane at the corner of Glenview Terrace just east of Allen Avenue.   Even without holiday lights and the vintage decorations, Balian House is a stand-out in a neighborhood of impressive homes.   The large mansion features various vignettes celebrating the season along with thousands and thousands of bright lights.       West of Balian House, n...

Smoke Detectors can give you a false sense of security Ionization type or "the cheap alternative - photoelectric". So many people have fallen into the trap of just looking at the price of an item and taking the lowest priced item... not always the best as in any business quite often you get what you pay for. For the small price difference go with the Ionization type and do yourself a favor. The photoelectric type don't always see the smoke quick enough and when they do you may find that you can't see your way out of the structure. Ionization type smoke detectors are typically more responsive to flaming fires and therefore might very wall be a better solution for your family. If you are an agent and notice your listing doesn't have smoke detectors, then you decide to purchase some and in...

I purchased a 1924 tudor-style home in Altadena, CA from a homeowner who had inherited his childhood home. As I see too often, there were family "friends" living in the property, rent free, and to say they weren't taking care of the property is an understatement.   Click here to see the rest of the story and before & after pictures

We purchased this Altadena property in the fall of 2012.  It was on a very quaint street, which Altadena and Pasadena are full of.  Neighborhoods in these areas are famous for their character, so we had our work cut out for us.  The project went relatively smoothly, with the exception of the countless city inspections that took place. Getting a simple permit sign-off on a new heater turned into getting permits for numerous items, including fixes we didn't even do (the past homeowner did them years ago).  One of the most frustrating hiccups were the two front windows, that again we didn't touch, being called out for being a couple inches too high and too narrow.  We had to cut into the wall and move them (literally 2 inches) down.  And of course, these windows weren't standard size so we...

This is a project we worked on a few years ago in Altadena, CA. We don't come across mid-century modern homes often, so this was a really fun one for us! My favorite features were the refinished concrete floors and the kitchen!          Come see the rest of the before & after photos (While you're there, don't forget to like us on Facebook)   Staging: ModernMecca.com, Photography: ModernMecca.com, Copyright © 2010-2013 Modern Mecca™.
