The Richard and Mabelle Hill House, designed by Architect Lester S. Moore as an "Italianate Craftsman," was built 1913. This 1.5 acre gated estate is on a private drive in East Altadena. The house was completely renovated in 1998-2000 with all new systems, underground utilities, fully insulated, dual-glazed windows, roof, stucco and copper exterior details. Many original features were restored to their 1913 and 1935 glory! The house has an unusual u-shaped floor plan with a central patio facing the evening sunset. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor and three on the second story. The master suite has a walk-in closet, Batchelder fireplace, sitting room and his and hers bathrooms featuring a rare, fully-intact historic Claycraft Tile bathroom from the 1930's. There are four fireplaces (3 Batchelder, including rare Angel motif in the dining room.) There is a large, gourmet kitchen with access to the patio and outside. The three story garage was built 1934 and has a 1 bedroom apartment above, 3-horse stable below, now a large storage/exercise/music room.) Landscaping includes charming stone work from the 1930's and new landscaping with a large lawn and a shady Mulberry Arbor. There are old oaks, deodars, date palms and fruit trees, and a large tree house in the back yard. There are beautiful mountain views, privacy and great neighbors. Admire the grazing deer from the dining room!
