About This Home

As of May 2025

A captivating blend of stately, bucolic, and magical, this 1.55-acre Flintridge property offers every hallmark of a private estate--plus one extraordinary feature: a 5-passenger garden railroad inspired by Disneyland. Designed by the late Bill Tyson of the Walt Disney Company, the Flintheim Railroad features a train station with crossing light, tunnel, bridges, mining camp, and general store, as well as a replica of the famed Grizzly Flats Railroad shed, celebrating La Canada's rich tradition of backyard trains.The meticulously landscaped grounds, honored with multiple 'La Canada Beautiful' awards, are a standout feature. A 50' x 19' swimming pool with diving board is framed by a spacious two-level deck, rose garden, and a pergola crowned with fragrant wisteria. A fenced, irrigated vegetable garden invites farm-to-table living, while a custom play structure with bridge and climbing walls, citrus and oak trees, and lush plantings complete this picturesque setting. A built-in BBQ island with bar seating is positioned beside a covered portico for effortless outdoor entertaining.The main house, centered on the property, is fronted by a wide lawn and gracious covered porch. Inside, a grand foyer with a sweeping curved staircase sets the tone. Formal dining and living rooms are filled with natural light, while the chef's kitchen boasts top-of-the-line appliances including a Subzero refrigerator, wine fridge, and large prep island, along with a butler's pantry and breakfast nook that opens to a generous great room with fireplace. A downstairs en suite bedroom provides flexibility for guests.Upstairs, a private wing includes two bedrooms, an office, a full bath, and a balcony. Beyond, a laundry room and hallway lead to the luxurious primary suite with a sitting room, fireplace, raised bedroom area, balcony, two deep closets, and a spa-inspired bath with jetted tub and double sinks.Additional structures include a one-bedroom guest house with kitchen and living room, a fitness room above the garage, a dedicated workshop, a game house with a pool table, stone fireplace, and bar, and a large enclosed dog play area.Extras include a 20kW Generac generator, Ring cameras, San Marino security system, two-car garage, two-car carport, and a circular driveway with parking for 12+ cars.Freeway close but without freeway noise, and near top-rated La Canada schools, this unique estate offers privacy, elegance, and unforgettable amenities.
