Property Description

Step back in time to the enduring elegance of this circa-1936 Colonial Revival, beautifully reimagined through meticulous renovations that honor its classic architecture while introducing the comforts and sophistication of modern California living. Set on an expansive, gently sloping 18,763-square-foot lot in the heart of Flintridge, the residence unfolds toward lush, resort-like grounds with treetop and mountain views beyond. The interiors have a timeless quality reminiscent of the work of renowned architect Paul Williams, beginning with a long formal foyer that establishes the home's graceful sense of scale and symmetry. A richly detailed wood-shelved dining room opens through arched glass doors to a sunlit great room overlooking the gardens and majestic pool, creating an effortless progression from formal entertaining to relaxed everyday living. At the heart of the home, the completely remodeled gourmet kitchen is both beautiful and highly functional, with generous gathering spaces designed for cooking, conversation, and entertaining. French doors, abundant windows, hardwood floors, and multiple fireplaces bring warmth and natural light throughout, while upgraded double-paned windows create a remarkably quiet and peaceful interior.The flexible main level includes an ensuite bedroom adjoining a family room or grand home office. Upstairs, three additional ensuite bedrooms offer privacy and comfort. The primary suite is tucked away in its own wing--a true retreat with a private office, separate balcony, and decadent bath featuring a soaking tub, twin vanities, walk-in closet, and two fireplaces. Outside, the property becomes its own private escape. A broad covered veranda and multiple terraces invite everything from quiet mornings to candlelit dinners and large-scale entertaining. Stone steps descend through mature landscaping to the secluded swimming pool and spa, while expansive lawn and garden areas provide a beautiful setting for celebrations, play, or afternoons spent beneath the trees. With four ensuite bedrooms, beautifully appointed living spaces, a three-car garage, and an exceptional connection between house & garden, offering something increasingly rare: the romance and craftsmanship of a classic estate, thoughtfully renewed for the way we live today. Pristine yet inviting, sophisticated without being overly formal, this is quintessential California living with a nod to another era-in one of Southern California's most treasured communities.
