About This Home
As of August 2024This stunning English Tudor Revival estate embodies timeless elegance in every detail from the
arched-molding formal entry doorway to the many Tudor casement windows overlooking the
garden retreat with mountain views. The six-bedroom, eight-bathroom residence, designed by
celebrated architect Edward Ullrich, has been meticulously renovated and updated to reflect
modern sophistication while preserving its remarkable architectural heritage. Most all home
features and systems were completely updated and restored in 2017, including refinished white
oak floors, re-chromed Crane bathroom fixtures, restored coffered ceilings, and beautifully
renovated leaded glass windows. The chef’s kitchen was fully renovated in 2017 with
custom cabinets and island, marble countertops, and JennAir Professional appliances, also newer
central HVAC and ductwork, copper plumbing and main sewer line, updated electrical panels, all
ensuring peace of mind. In the backyard, an enchanting oasis awaits. The impressive sunroom
opens to the salt-water lap pool and jacuzzi, offering a serene retreat, while the exquisite guest
house, with fabulous redwood paneling, the vaulted ceiling with the rustic beams, provides the perfect space for
entertaining and visitors. This estate is a true masterpiece, seamlessly blending historical charm
with contemporary luxury. Situated on a half-acre in the coveted San Marino area near the
Huntington Library and Caltech, the masterful architectural craftsmanship and aesthetic
characteristics make 830 Chester a piece of art, and a cozy home.
