Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1995 (29 years old), the property is well-maintained but features a dated kitchen with original cherry cabinetry and older appliances. While functional, the age of the home and systems exceeds 20 years without a recent major renovation, placing it in the fair category.
Designed by architect Lisa Pendleton, this Spanish Revival estate features a dramatic 25-foot domed rotunda and authentic wood-beamed ceilings, offering a level of character and craftsmanship rarely found in modern builds.
The residence is masterfully designed for the California lifestyle, utilizing numerous French doors that lead to expansive terraces and balconies showcasing sweeping views of the San Gabriel Mountains.
Unlike older historic homes, this 1995 construction offers contemporary comforts including tri-zoned central HVAC, a spa-inspired primary bath, and a functional kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances.
The three-car garage is arranged in a tandem layout, which can be less convenient for multi-vehicle households requiring frequent car shuffling.
The property’s hillside location and emphasis on tiered terraces mean there is a lack of traditional flat lawn space, which may be a drawback for buyers with children or pets.
