About This Home

As of January 2025

A rare opportunity to own this gracious home designed by noted architect Wallace Neff. This California Colonial estate was built in 1935 and situated on a lot of over 25,000 square feet. This stunning estate has been lovingly cared for by the same family for over 55 years. Set back from the street with a large circular driveway you approach the classic entry. The dramatic living room to your right opens up with French doors to a sizeable covered veranda perfect for entertaining or a place to relax. The elegant dining room is large enough to hold a table of at least 14 people. In addition, there is a beautiful bay window and for the hosting of a perfect party, there is a full butler pantry. The kitchen has been updated and has a center sit-down island, pantry, stainless-steel built-in appliances, and granite countertops. In addition, the downstairs has a den which is currently used as an office, but is also perfect for a den or TV room. There is a library/den with built-in bookcases and a wet bar. There is a full bath and a half bath on the main level, which includes a downstairs laundry closet. This home boasts a front and back staircase for convenience. The front staircase in the entry leads up the stairs to the main hallway to the bedrooms. The primary bedroom suite has a separate dressing area with a built-in vanity. The primary bathroom has a separate tub and shower. Doors to the outside terrace/deck offer sweeping views of the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains. There are 2 more bedrooms (one en-suite) and an additional bedroom and 3/4 bath upstairs. As a bonus upstairs, there is a spacious gathering room that could also be used for a theatre, home gym, or studio. There is a full laundry room on the upstairs level with lots of storage. As a bonus, there is also a 390 square foot basement. This gorgeous home is full of original details from a bygone era including hardwood floors, doors, windows, and hardware. Professionally landscaped yard with blooming crepe myrtle trees, 9 fruit trees, and lovely patios. Plenty of room to provide opportunity to add a pool, spa, and ADU. Circular driveway and a long driveway that leads to 3-car garage, storage room and carport. A perfect location, close to the Huntington Library Gardens, Cal Tech, South Lake Restaurant and Shopping District, Polytechnic School, and the Langham Hotel. A stunning timeless estate!
