This California Craftsman is affectionately known as the Archie Andrews home and also the Embree family home (of Embree Bus fame). This Altadena Country Club area home has been in the Embree family for 44 years, and has a very unique history. On a gentle uphill lot, this flexible one-level home has a big living room, a very large master suite, and one of the largest front lawns in the area. Unique features were added during Prohibition and along with the U-shape design, make this a perfect entertainer’s home, artists retreat, or just a great family compound. This home was originally designed and built in 1912 by well known architects Foss Designing and Building Company who are linked to some of the finest homes in the area. Other wonderful features include three inside and one outside fireplace, central air and heat, a wood paneled study and game/card room, wood beamed ceilings, leaded windows, and a hidden staircase with a “wine cellar” and brick lined basement, and a great backyard with a BIG 561 square foot greenhouse. The front porch pergola has been recently restored and there is a pond off the rear courtyard. This home is being sold with termite clearance and a home warranty.
