Description

This refined mid-century home, built in 1963 and spanning approximately 2,760 sq ft, blends classic charm with modern luxury and carries a unique legacy—the original owner was from the iconic Helms Bakery, a name still fondly remembered in the community. Set behind a beautifully landscaped front yard, the home features elegant double-pane French doors that fill the interior with natural light. The foyer opens to a formal living room with a striking Ann Sacks-tiled fireplace and rich mahogany floors, seamlessly connecting to a formal dining room and a spacious family room adorned with a Walker Zanger-tiled fireplace. The thoughtfully designed layout includes four generously sized bedrooms and four stylishly remodeled bathrooms with high-end designer finishes. The bright, gourmet eat-in kitchen boasts Caesarstone countertops, modern pendant lighting, and flows into an updated laundry room and a two-car garage. Throughout the home, multiple French doors lead to a covered entertainer’s patio with skylights, overlooking a lushly landscaped 0.30-acre lot. The garden was designed to offer year-round blooms, with sweet osmanthus near the primary bedroom and patio area filling the air with its signature fragrance. A variety of fruit trees—including feijoa (pineapple guava), orange, tangerine, lemon, fig, and guava—enhance the setting with seasonal color and fresh harvests. Ideally located near award-winning schools and just moments from San Marino’s boutiques, grocery stores like Ralphs, Bristol Farms, and Whole Foods, as well as In-N-Out and fine dining, this home offers an exceptional blend of history, comfort, and timeless appeal.
