Designed by master architect Roland E. Coate and built in collaboration with esteemed builder Lee S. Davis, this captivating French Normandy-style home is a rare example of early California architectural excellence. Professionally measured at 2,590 sq ft, it combines classic European charm with relaxed indoor-outdoor living, reflecting Coate’s visionary philosophy that “The patio is the heart of the California house,” as noted in House & Garden magazine, 1931.
The home’s graceful composition features steeply pitched rooflines and a soaring 16-foot high-hipped ceiling with exposed wood beams in the formal dining room. The living room centers on a grand fireplace and is framed by multi-pane windows that fill the space with natural light. Every first-floor room opens through French doors to the surrounding gardens, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
Architectural details abound, including arched entryways, crown molding, and crystal chandeliers that enhance the refined character throughout. The floor plan flows effortlessly, balancing open spaces with cozy, intimate areas. Built-in Bluetooth-enabled speakers wired throughout provide an elevated living experience, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Recent updates include new landscaping, fresh interior and exterior paint, upgraded electrical systems, bathroom mirrors, plumbing, and lighting fixtures (full list available).
Step outside to a private brick terrace framed by manicured gardens and mature trees—an idyllic setting for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or romantic dinners. A thoughtful exit from the family room and kitchen opens to a brick-paved patio, perfect for sunset entertaining and gatherings under the stars.
Upstairs, spacious bedrooms offer serene mountain and garden views. Situated on a generous 9,256 sq ft lot, a new 70-foot concrete driveway provides parking for four vehicles and leads to an attached two-car garage. A 140 sq ft California basement is also included.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history in one of San Marino’s most coveted neighborhoods. The home masterfully blends classic charm with modern comfort and gracious hospitality. Reflecting the enduring legacy of Roland E. Coate, it offers a lifestyle rooted in beauty, tranquility, and timeless appeal. Conveniently located near the Huntington Library, Caltech, and within the award-winning San Marino School District, this exceptional residence is truly a cherished treasure.
