This gracious English Revival country house residence, designed in 1935 by architect Ray J. Kieffer in the desirable Langham Huntington Hotel area, commands a knoll with 180 degree views of San Marino, the San Gabriel Valley and the mountains beyond. Exceptional craftsmanship and architectural detailing are everywhere apparent; from leaded glass windows to hand carved woodworking, this home is exquisite. A truly charming entry with imposing staircase leads past a guest cloak room and bath and past a comfortable library with cozy fireplace and secret bar and opens dramatically to the grand living room with cathedral ceiling, baronial fireplace and spectacular picture window. Across the entry to the living room is the spacious formal dining room which overlooks the back terrace. A gourmet kitchen with extensive custom cabinetry, granite counters and newer appliances has been thoughtfully updated in keeping with the original character of the property. The kitchen is adjacent the delightfully informal family room with handsome fireplace and pleasant window bay ideal for morning breakfast. A stairway in the kitchen leads down to an attractive wine cellar and ample storage. A porte-cochere connects to the attached two car garage. The upstairs, accessible from both front and back staircases, features the beautiful master suite with magnificent treetop views and luxurious his and her baths and four additional bedrooms, one currently used as an office, and three more baths. A large, bright convenient laundry completes the second level. The lovely grounds consist of lush, mature landscaping with rose gardens, fruit trees, terraces and an elegant pool and spa with pool house, barbecue and outdoor fireplace. Tranquil and private at the end of a cul-de-sac, this estate is not to be missed.
