Bordering the grounds of The Huntington Library, this wonderful California Monterey Colonial country estate designed by noted architect Bob Ray Offenhauser enjoys a very special private setting of unexpected beauty. It is situated at the top of a quiet cul-de-sac on the former historic Patton property. The marvelous light filled main level consists of a welcoming entry with Saltillo tile and gracious guest bath and a dramatic step down living room with parquet floors, coffered 12 foot ceilings, handsome fireplace and oversized French doors and windows with views to the back garden, borrowed Huntington landscape and the San Gabriels beyond. An attractive, comfortable step down library with fireplace is adjacent. A gallery with bar leads to the lovely formal dining room, to the gourmet kitchen, breakfast area and pantry and to the comfortable family room with Franklin stove. A ground floor bedroom and bath and the laundry complete this level. Upstairs the gorgeous master suite has a seating area with fireplace, a generous master bath and walk in closets. A separate sleeping wing has two more spacious bedrooms that share an oversized bath and another pleasing bedroom and bath. A delightful balcony runs the length of the front of the house. A back patio and garden with fountain, pool and spa create a wonderful outdoor space with unforgettably divine vistas. In addition to the extensive use of rare woods for paneling, features include: abundant storage, inviting window seats, security system, newer roof, pool equipment, automated safety pool cover and dual zone HVAC and also a three car garage. This friendly residence has an informal elegance that truly showcases the California lifestyle.
