About This Home
Set in a serene pocket of San Marino's esteemed Poet's Quarter, 2250 Montecito Dr is a tribute to bold vision and creativity. On the market for the first time ever, and featured in the 1985 cult-classic film Into the Night, starring Michelle Pfieffer and Jeff Goldblum, this signature residence is peerless in design and character. The meticulously landscaped front yard evokes a tranquil oasis with sculpted topiary, manicured hedges, and a reflective water feature--creating a serene, almost meditative arrival experience. From there, a Moorish-inspired privacy wall with an arched gateway hides a tranquil front courtyard, blending ornamental detail with architectural drama. Inside the home, custom pointed archways introduce a distinctive design theme, while a defining creative vision takes shape through thoughtful details--from jade-accented hardware and stained glass to ornate metal fixtures, handcrafted ceilings, and richly patterned tile. Extending from a striking rotunda, the spacious living room showcases a wall of stylized mirrors and opens to both a tranquil Zen Garden and a home library. The formal dining room, with a gilded gold ceiling and gorgeous views, offers an opulent setting that elevates every dinner party. For casual relaxation, the inviting family room looks out to the central courtyard--the perfect setting for entertaining that flows inside and out effortlessly. At day's end, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with floor to ceiling windows looking out to the courtyard and a decadent bath. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath and access a second garden atrium, while a fourth bedroom suite is privately tucked away in its own wing. Unifying the home, a central courtyard invites all manner of parties and galas, with museum-like landscaping and yet another custom-designed showpiece--a sparkling pool in the shape of the home's architectural motif. Visiting friends and loved ones will treasure the privacy and beauty of the guest house. This secluded retreat, which could also serve as a pool house, includes floor-to-ceiling windows and a kitchen. In a prized San Marino enclave, just blocks from San Marino High School and the Huntington Gardens, 2250 Montecito Drive is a rare offering even among San Marino's finest.
