Known as the crown jewel of Lemon Heights, a gated Mediterranean Revival, multi generational compound perched above North Tustin’s most coveted ridge. Built in the 1930s, this residence is steeped in history yet utterly timeless. More than 90 majestic trees, many exceeding 50 feet in height, envelop the two landscaped parcels (totaling 2.4 acres), creating a tranquil, private oasis that stands apart from the world. The views are breathtaking and sweeping from Catalina to Palos Verdes.
