Dramatic architectural details abound, including soaring vaulted and beamed ceilings, a spectacular living room anchored by a dramatic 15-foot floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace wall, and carefully curated finishes throughout. The luxurious primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub overlooking the tranquil rear gardens, an oversized custom walk-in closet with center island, and a glass-enclosed steam shower with built-in bench seating. Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the gourmet kitchen is appointed with a professional-grade Wolf range and expansive center island, flowing naturally into a stylish den featuring a custom wood accent wall, floating shelves, and bespoke built-in cabinetry. Privately enveloped by a striking architectural fence and mature double hedges, the expansive corner-lot grounds unfold like a private park offering complete seclusion, exceptional square footage, and year-round enjoyment. An exceptional outdoor environment includes a covered outdoor kitchen, outdoor fireplace, generous front and rear lawns, and multiple spaces for gathering, relaxing, and entertaining. A rare offering that masterfully combines architectural significance, rare lot scale, and modern luxury, this sophisticated estate represents one of the finest Mid-Century residences available in the San Gabriel Valley.
