About This Home

Secluded beyond lush hedges and a private gate, this distinguished 1923 estate by celebrated and important architect Reginald Johnson embodies timeless elegance and is located on a full level acre just north of The Huntington Library. Spanning over 5,000 square feet, the home's gracious interiors begin with a wood-paneled central hall which opens up to a light-filled living room with three French doors, an elegant dining room and a chef's kitchen with generous island, butler's pantry, and breakfast nook. Its grand staircase leads to two of three spacious guest suites and the primary retreat offering abundant closets and a marble-clad bath. The already stately colonial revival style home transcended its own stature with a massive neomodernist Main Room addition in 1991 with a commanding presence that sets up long views up and down the giant herringbone brick patio, sparkling pool and landscaped gardens, serving as a library, art gallery and/or primary indoor/outdoor entertainment area. A lighted championship north-south tennis court with gazebo, multiple patios and an orchard allows for refined entertaining and expansive play. Fenced and hidden from the street by dense greenery, the estate affords both total privacy and the capacity to be an alluring social hub. Down the street from Caltech and South Lake Avenue with easy access to Greater Los Angeles, this complete property is absolutely one of a kind and on the market for the first time in nearly half a century.
