A rare Sylvanus Marston masterpiece- this English Country residence (1929) is sited on a park-like 31,736 sq ft parcel of lush formal gardens and majestic oaks. Trained at Cornell, Marston is celebrated for elegantly proportioned residences, meticulous site planning, and superb craftsmanship--hallmarks that helped define Southern California's early 20th-century domestic landscape.The estate's composition -- principal rooms oriented to garden views, thoughtfully arranged circulation, and finely scaled exterior massing -- exemplifies Marston's signature site-responsive planning and seamless integration of house and landscape. Character features include custom millwork and built-ins, original hardware, discreet staff quarters, and an enchanting rear-garden entertainment pavilion centered on a substantial fireplace -- all creating an ideal setting for refined indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. Impeccable period proportions, elegant detailing, and timeless curb presence offer a refined canvas for collectors and discerning buyers seeking architectural provenance and serene privacy. This wonderful property has been in the same family since 1973 and awaits its new owners.
