Property Description

Preserving the authentic mid-century design dating back to 1962, this home has undergone meticulous restoration, seamlessly marrying the charm of yesteryear with the contemporary luxuries of today. The gated motor court elegantly frames the residence, embraced by a sustainable garden boasting succulents and agave plants, all embraced by the mature trees surrounding the property. Stepping through the custom oversized solid-wood front door, the foyer welcomes you with marble flooring and a grand staircase, setting a sophisticated tone for the entire residence. Ascending the stairs, the main open living area unfolds, featuring a formal living room with a fireplace and expansive windows on either side. Across the way, the formal dining room is adorned with a custom contemporary chandelier and floor-to-ceiling windows. Around the corner is the impeccable chefs kitchen, showcasing Viking appliances and waterfall marble countertops. With a designated breakfast bar, separate breakfast nook, and an additional living space for leisure, this kitchen/living space is the perfect place for effortless entertainment. The primary suite is a sanctuary of spacious relaxation, flooded with natural light from windows on both sides and offering treetop views from all windows. Built-in shelving and a bench create a perfect retreat for unwinding and afternoon reading. The spa-like primary bathroom boasts a floating vanity, separate tub and shower, and skylight, leading seamlessly to the expansive walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms on this level, each with its own en-suite bathroom featuring the same quality and finishes found throughout the home. Descending downstairs, a fifth bedroom, currently utilized as an office with an attached bathroom, opens up to a flexible space that seamlessly connects to the downstairs family room/game rooma perfect space for hosting family and friends. Outside, just a few steps away leads to the resort-style backyard, surrounded by the curated landscaping and featuring a pool, cabana area, and multiple spaces for additional seating. The property, nestled on nearly half an acre, is surrounded by walls and gates, creating a serene haven, yet only minutes away from South Lake’s shopping and dining, The Langham Hotel, Polytechnic School, Caltech, and The Huntington Library and Gardens.
