    What's special

    Originally part of the Martindale House designed by Joseph J. Kucera in 1924, this estate-sized lot overlooks the Arroyo Seco with expansive views of the San Gabriel mountains, a rare find on prestigious South San Rafael. Centered in an 8-foot high stucco wall approximately 175 feet long, stately entry gates open to a gracious 1.38 acre parcel offering an exceptional opportunity to build a large, very private residence. The original 1,025 square foot Spanish Colonial Carriage House has two bedrooms and one bath above a 4-car garage and additional half bath. The park-like grounds recall the Pasadena of long ago, graced with mature trees, a pond, river rock walls, outdoor fireplaces, and an amphitheater overlooking the original Busch Gardens. Conceptual plans have been drawn for a 5-Bedroom residence with approximately 5500 square feet, a pool, and attached garage. With the 2019 Hillside Development Permit approval, the Carriage House can be converted to an accessory building bringing the total floor area to almost 8000 square feet. This beguiling property must be seen to be believed!
