Last week we ventured as far west as Brentwood to highlight an architecturally significant listing, this week we once again venture beyond the hills of Hollywood and Beverly, all the way east and a little north to the picturesque town of La Canada Flintridge.
It’s there we highlight an exquisite English Revival Estate designed by famed architect Paul R. Williams. Known for his Old Hollywood style, Williams designed some of the most famous Los Angeles area estates of the 1920s and 30s’. This impressive and example was built in 1927 and “evokes a magical vision of romance and tranquility” across over 7,000 square feet of interior space. 453 Somerset Place is listed at $5.595 million.
The property was beautifully updated in 2004 but has managed the impressive feat of only adding to its original charm. This five bedroom, seven bathroom Tudor style home features fine detail and craftsmanship throughout, including beamed ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors and leaded glass windows. The warm and welcoming rooms allow for both comfortable living and intimate gatherings.
The impressive living room with soaring vaulted wood beam ceilings, grand fireplace, and hardwood floors flows into the solarium that boasts walls of windows with a 180 degree commanding views of the foothills.
The formal dining room offers an ambiance of warmth and elegance with timeless detail, including a custom chandelier, double oak wood doors and a large bay window.
The gourmet kitchen sits next to the bright family room and the cheery breakfast room which leads to an outdoor patio with a built-in barbecue that makes it perfect for dining al-fresco.
Upstairs bedrooms have en-suite baths while the luxurious master is complete with a fireplace, walk-in closet and spa like bathroom.
Over an acre of grounds filled with mature Oak trees, provide total privacy and great space for entertaining.
Lush foliage, natural stone patios, multiple grassy yards, outdoor fireplace, pool/spa and lighted sport court highlight this expansive property.
This timeless Flintridge storybook charmer also includes a guest house with separate entrance, living room and bedroom with fir floors and three-quarter bathroom as well as a pool house with kitchenette, Murphy bed and additional three-quarter bathroom.
A three-car detached garage built in 2004 with attached gym completes this extraordinary residence. Perfect for entertaining and wonderfully private, yet close to all award winning La Cañada Schools.
