Nestled in the hills on one of the most prestigious streets of San Marino, built in 1954, this unique 5 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom tri-level view home is on the market for the first time in 29 years! Past the automatic gate onto the gentle knoll, one will be immediately captivated by the inviting 900 sqft open wood deck adjoining the motor court. Adjacent to the 3-car garage, and next to the pedestrian gate, the wide, stately steps lead to the gorgeous antique front door, flanked by leaded-glass panels, welcomes one to the spacious wood-flooring foyer with a corner wet-bar behind shutters. To the right is the classic mid-century formal areas; the living room is anchored by a fireplace, while the dining room is graced by a beautiful crystal chandelier. The extended “indoor deck” adjacent to these 2 formal rooms magically presents a spectacular, undisturbed view of the San Gabriel Valley with its glass walls. A spiral staircase underneath another crystal chandelier provides direct access to the garage and motor court. Retaining many of its original mid-century features with built-in cabinetry and charm on the ground and main levels, the hallway adjoining the dining room leads to the junior and primary suites; both bedrooms feature the same unparalleled scenery. A staircase off the hall takes one to the ground floor that makes a perfect guest quarter; one of the bedrooms is being staged as a sitting area while the other is the sleeping room. Both rooms open to the front yard/deck for open-air relaxation and a grassy lower-level orchard. A laundry room and a full bath complete this ground floor. The open kitchen/breakfast area was thoughtfully remodeled in the 80’s, with ample built-ins, updated wood flooring, and a sliding door that leads to a patio perfect for a cappuccino break! To the left of the foyer, one is ushered up a few steps that lead to the 5th bedroom suite and a reading nook that offers direct access to the outdoors. The upper-level “pool house” with a natural stone fireplace, high open-beam ceilings and loft, was painstakingly added and rebuilt in 1986 and showcases breathtaking views! This is a true “great room”; for any size gatherings and entertaining; multiple sliding glass doors open to both the enticing pool and an enchanting wisteria-covered patio, it is So-Cal’s indoor/outdoor living at its best! A half bath conveniently located on the same level can be easily accessed from the outdoors. The more than 1/2 acre ground is professionally landscaped with varieties of fruit trees and flowers. This well-maintained estate is truly one of a kind and a rare opportunity for the new lucky owner!
