About This Home
As of May 2025Listed as a "Landmark" Historic property this Late Adobe Revival Ranch house was built in 1948 by Earl & Bertha Crawford. It has Mills Act taxes. The 12"x18"x5" Adobe bricks were reportedly made onsite by anyone who was willing to be a part of the project. More detail in supplements. 6 additional owners over nearly 8 decades have cared for this home and made several nice upgrades. A non-original trellis shades the front of the home with drought tolerant landscaping. Imagine lounging under the trumpet vine and chatting with neighbors who pass by. The small gate at the double door was originally an elevator gate rescued from the LA Hotel and incorporated into the design. Step through these doors and be amazed at the courtyard architecture and private back yard. I would be enjoying my morning coffee or favorite beverage every evening as the dogs play in this cozy courtyard. Turning inside a small entry leads to the spacious Living room with open beam ceilings and a tile surround fireplace. The double sliding doors are custom and open to the courtyard. So many beautiful architectural details in every room. The front wing has 2 good sized bedrooms with built-ins and a shared bath. The large dining room has a stunning corner fireplace, a wooden wall of hidden storage and more beamed ceilings. The updated kitchen has quartz counters, tons of natural light, stainless appliances and a walk-in pantry. Imagine cooking for your friends here. A service hall with laundry leads to the very private master with 2 baths and lots of built-in storage. The 1/4 acre lot has 3 mature Avocado trees, the original incinerator, lawn area and plenty of room for a pool or large garden. The 2 car garage is extra deep and has a rear door opening to an old asphalt drive. Set on the Iconic River Lane/Sharon Rd loop originally developed by the McFadden Family once home to many influential OC families. Copper plumbing, updated hvac, tons of built-in storage, steel windows and more. This home is a rich architectural delight, a one of a kind property that envelops you at every turn. Home. Professional photos on the way.
