Sited on a flat, .86 acre lot across from the grounds of The Huntington Library, this stunning two story California Traditional home of just over 7400 square feet is being offered by its original owner who designed it for gracious, large-scale entertaining.

The first floor of the house offers a large entry hall, nearly 800 square foot living room with fireplace, fully paneled den/study with fireplace, formal dining room with fireplace, kitchen with breakfast area, and an over 500 square foot, cork-floored family room with fireplace, plus a powder room, two half-baths, and basement with potential as a wine cellar. There are multiple French doors for indoor-outdoor access. The second floor includes a natural light-filled primary suite with fireplace, two baths, plus balcony overlooking the rear grounds. There are four additional bedrooms with en suite baths plus a fifth bedroom with adjacent hall bath, and the entire home features abundant storage cabinets and closets. The magnificent grounds include a north courtyard patio and expansive southern patio, a portion of which is covered, pool with waterfall, fire pit, full lot-width lawn, and a lighted north-south tennis court. This is a rare opportunity to own a stately estate property in one of the city's premiere locations.
