Altadena House | Vintage Bungalow | Mid-Century Charm | Walk to Dining

2 Bedroom House in Altadena, San Diego

Step into a renovated 1920s North Park bungalow blending vintage charm with modern comfort. Enjoy stylish living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, two cozy bedrooms, and a private backyard with deck and fountain. Walk to top restaurants and shops, with SD attractions nearby. Pet-friendly with guidelines.
Inside, you’ll find an inviting living space with custom built-ins, a dedicated work area, and a big blue sofa perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. The dining nook features custom seating and a striking Sputnik chandelier, while the all-new kitchen is fully equipped and designed to impress. French doors open to your private backyard oasis — complete with a spacious deck, serene fountain, al fresco dining, and a charming swing.
Both bedrooms are equally comfortable, featuring blackout shades, ceiling fans, mini-split heat and AC, and designer furnishings. Guests frequently praise the home’s cleanliness, cozy atmosphere, and thoughtful extras that make them feel right at home.
Located in a quiet, safe neighborhood, the bungalow is within walking distance of some of North Park and South Park’s best restaurants, coffee shops, and markets. Downtown, Balboa Park, and San Diego’s most popular attractions are just a short drive or rideshare away.
Please take a moment to review the House Rules before booking.
If you will need bedding for the sofa, please let us know in advance so we can prepare it for you.
Families: While Purple Panache is glad to host families, please note the space was not designed with children in mind and has no specific child-safety equipment. The children who have stayed most successfully have been infants under constant supervision or mature tweens and teens past the “stick a fork into a socket” stage.
Pets: We do not charge a pet fee — but pets must be disclosed when booking. Undisclosed pets will incur a $100 fee. To keep our pet-friendly policy free for all guests, we ask that you:
Clean up after your pet inside and outside.
Use provided blankets on furniture if pets are allowed up.
Contact us for instructions if an accident occurs on carpets or upholstery.
If our cleaners must address these issues for you, the following fees apply:
Dog waste or messes: $50
Excessive pet hair: $50
Security: For your safety, there are four exterior cameras mounted on the roof to monitor property access: two at the front (entry, driveway, sidewalk), one on the south side yard (facing the gate), and one on the north side yard (non-accessible space). There are no interior cameras and none facing the backyard. The home is equipped with a Yale Smart Lock.
Please do not tamper with the cameras or modem.
Check-out is 11:00 AM. Message or text when you depart so we can begin prep for next guests.
To help keep cleaning fees reasonable:
Leave property as you found it.
Place dirty dishes in dishwasher and start if needed (detergent under sink).
Begin a load of laundry with kitchen/bath towels and clothes used.
We will strip beds — do not wash house linens.
Before you go:
Double-check drawers and behind doors for personal items.
Close all curtains/shades, lock windows.
Turn off air conditioning units.
Lock rear door.
Lock front door by closing fully and pressing Yale key on keypad.
Message or text Matt (520-661-4004) when you depart.
Food note: Dispose of opened perishables. Leave unopened/non-perishables (coffee, oil, spices, bottled water, etc.) if you wish — we’ll determine if they can be used for future guests.
