Property Description

Built-in 1925 and superbly sited on over 27,000 feet in the prestigious lower Oakwood district of La Canada-Flintridge, this rare and unassuming estate incorporates many of the architectural and construction characteristics reminiscent of the Mid-Atlantic Farmhouse period, rendering it inherently perfect as a Southern California retreat. Adding to this amazing estate’s presence, is a magnificent one-bedroom pool house with an over-sized brick fireplace, vaulted ceiling, kitchenette, and a sense of space and style, one is transported to a magical experience.

It is apparent upon approaching the front door of this magnificent four-bedroom, five-bathroom estate that the combined effort of architect Arthur Taylor and the firm of Stamps and Stamps created a truly incomparable treasure. Their impeccable use of custom Alder wood bookcases, wall paneling, crown molding, ornate wood-carved architectural accent pieces, over-sized windows, and deep patios combined to form this strikingly gracious California estate.

The present owner, who has further updated the interior and exterior spaces, has provided for many of the modern comfort and convenience found in the home today while retaining all of the charm and beauty of an earlier time.

Impeccably scaled, the public rooms are light and bright and offer a sense of spacious old-world design. The gracious living room features a stunning fireplace with an imported wood-carved mantle and an interior circular window with decorative tracery, while large paned-glass windows extensively line both the living and the large and gracious dining room.

The warm and inviting country-style kitchen features stainless Sub-Zero and Viking appliances, a large center island, custom made wood cabinetry, marble countertops, and an imported Anna Weatherly hand-painted porcelain tile backsplash. Graciously opening to a breakfast room, walk-in pantry, and spacious informal dining area with French doors to a large brick patio, the kitchen is steps from the wood-paneled family room with a fireplace, built-in entertainment center, surround sound speaker system, and direct access to the estate’s three-car garage.

The private floor of the home encompasses the sumptuous master retreat complete with a wood-mantled fireplace, two-walk-in dressing closets, a coiffured ceiling with recessed lighting, and a luxurious and impeccably designed and appointed master bathroom with Venetian plastered walls, French bathroom fixtures, imported marble, an over-sized spa-like tub, and a fully enclosed floor-to-ceiling stone shower.

The private floor is further enhanced with the addition of an impressive home office, built in the style of an old-world library to include a vaulted and tress-style ceiling, the use of Jacob’s Ladder-style floor-to-ceiling bookcases enhanced by imported custom library lighting, and a large semi-circular arched window. Three additional bedroom suites with walk-in closets, each with their special design and appointments complete the second story of the estate.

Framed by mature specimen trees of Sycamore, Ash, Brazilian Pepper, and Pear in scale with the architecture, the professionally designed, executed and planted gardens are a tranquil haven blessed with areas of both sunshine and shade, and blooming trees, shrubs, and vines throughout the seasons. Enhanced by a sparkling and newly renovated pool, a north-south tennis court, and a spacious light-filled home office with built-in bookcases and overlooking the pool and rolling green lawn, this is an unparalleled offering, unique in every sense.
