In the heart of Altadena's original Janes Village Historic District, this 1925 Mediterranean Janes cottage designed by E.P. Janes, is rare in its architectural character.A fragrant front garden is beautifully curated, anchored by Bearss lime and Meyer lemon trees. Recognized twice by Altadena Heritage with the Golden Poppy Award, in 2023 and 2024, for awarding presentation and sustainability, it is as water-wise as it is beautiful. Window awnings and a red clay tile roof lend the cottage its storybook silhouette, and the walkway meanders through mature plantings toward a covered front porch and welcoming entry.Inside the living room is rich with character: hardwood floors, wood casement windows and original wall sconces set the stage, while hand-troweled plaster California knockdown walls wrap around a decorative Mission tile fireplace. Tucked away, an alcove with a pointed Moorish-style archway offers a quiet architectural moment, one of many arched openings found throughout the home.Just off the living room, the bright bedroom features multi-panel French doors that invite in natural light and open to the front gardens.An arched entry leads to two bedrooms and a full bathroom. Both bedrooms are light-filled with hardwood floors, coved ceilings, generous storage and white shaker-style bifold closet doors. The full bath is a charming retreat, with classic white hexagon tile flooring and a sage green ceramic tile shower.The plan flows into a cozy, light-filled dining room with access to the backyard gardens. An open archway and breakfast bar connect to the kitchen, with a laundry and mudroom tucked just behind.Outside, the backyard is a leafy garden-lover's dream. Paths meander among fruit trees, including Fuji apple, orange, Pinkerton avocado, Rio Red grapefruit, kumquat, pomelo, Arctic Star white nectarine and strawberry guava. A detached two-car garage and work shed complete out the grounds.Full of architectural character, inviting atmosphere and warm, light-filled rooms, this home's storybook charm and historic pedigree offer a character-rich lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find. 201 W Terrace St is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Altadena history.
