This classic Colonial Revival built in 1922 was one of the original residences built on Old Mill Road in San Marino under the personal direction of Henry E. Huntington to fulfill his dream of surrounding his famed estate and gardens with “the most beautiful residential park in California.”
Tucked behind a screen of foliage, this private estate offers the ultimate in privacy as it sits majestically atop a knoll overlooking expansive lawns and gardens that bloom year-round. The large front terrace with balustrade spans the front of the home and frames the front columned portico.
Stepping into the formal entry with grand central staircase you’re drawn to the sophisticated living room with elegant fireplace and adjoining library. Both rooms offer views and access to the backyard and gardens through banks of French doors ideal for entertaining. The dignified dining room features French doors opening to the front terrace.
A butler’s pantry provides a bar and private staging area off the kitchen. A sunny breakfast porch abuts the kitchen and leads out to the charming patio. To the back of the house is a private suite perfect for nanny’s suite or convenient children’s playroom.
Upstairs, at the top of the central staircase, a generous landing opens to three large ensuite bedrooms, a guest room and an additional bedroom with fireplace being used as a sitting room. A balcony off the landing offers the perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee overlooking the sprawling back yard.
The covered back porch of the home opens to the extensive back lawns featuring flower gardens, a dining gazebo, children’s playhouse and swing set, tennis court with viewing pavilion and a large swimming pool with jacuzzi. Adjoining the pool area is a charming cabana offering his and hers shower and restrooms, and large open area with wet bar for entertaining and games. Off the cabana is a bonus room used as a private office.
At the back of the property is an area with raised garden beds and potting shed for the gardener in you. And finally, the piece de resistance for the car fanatic is the amazing 7-car garage featuring a lube pit. The ultimate collectors dream!
This historic home is on the market for the first time in 60 years. Don’t miss your chance to own this spectacular estate!
