Property Description
This hilltop Spanish courtyard hideaway was designed by AIA architect John Winford Byers in 1929. At that time, it stood as the only home straddling the ridgeline. Its inverted floor plan was designed to capture the epic views of the San Gabriel Mountains and the newly constructed Rose Bowl on one side, and the rolling hills and valleys of Glen Oaks Canyon on the other. Encompassing over 3,700 square feet of interior living space on 2 parcels in excess of 3 acres, the grounds provide multiple, usable outdoor areas and a sizable hillside green belt, which will protect the views in perpetuity. This authentic home is a true rare offering.Accessed up a semi-private driveway a short distance past the top of San Rafael Avenue, the home offers 3 garage spaces and a bricked parking court that can accommodate up to 8 cars, thoughtfully arranged. The public entrance is on the 2nd floor, which includes an entry hall and dramatic living room, library, formal dining room, breakfast room and kitchen, as well as 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The lower floor is level to the parking court and is accessed by an interior staircase, or a separate, exterior entrance. It includes a sizable family room, bedroom and bath, as well as a proper laundry room. It is well-suited as a secondary guest retreat. The common rooms open to the covered courtyard and terrace for easy access to the breathtaking and bold views, where you will have one of the finest perspectives of the Rose Bowl fireworks and the dramatic mountains beyond. A permitted, free-standing workroom provides an additional 230 square feet of usable space. A back staircase leads from the kitchen to a private, walled courtyard shaded by a towering Stone Pine. This home is ripe with potential for its next stewards and will be the envy of anyone who gets to share in its location, architectural history and future enhancements.
