Description

Extraordinary San Marino Monterey Colonial Estate. As you enter though the elegant wrought iron gates and continue up the horseshoe driveway, this private 1932 Monterey Colonial beauty reveals itself amongst the manicured gardens and central fountain. The formal entry reveals the generous light filled formal living room with original beamed ceilings and fireplace. Adjacent to the entry is also the intimate private library with crafted built-ins and additional fireplace. There is a formal dining room with an original stained beamed ceiling and French doors to the rear patios. The expansive chef's kitchen is epic. Surrounding the center kitchen island with its service sink, built-ins and seating, are the Wolf six burner cooktop and double ovens, Sub Zero refrigeration, multiple dishwashers, a microwave, and walk-in pantry. The adjoining great room includes additional casual dining, media area, custom built-ins, and a fireplace with access through multiple French doors to the loggia, outdoor kitchen, and pool areas. A laundry room, ensuite bedroom, and powder room complete the first level. The second level offers a relaxing lounge area that leads to the luxurious primary suite that includes dual walk-in closets and a large spa like bath. There are two additional wings on this level, each with two bedrooms and one bath for a total of six bedrooms and three baths on the upper level. The lower level of the estate includes a second more intimate media area, generous storage, a gym, and a music room for late night sessions with friends. In addition, there is a custom wet bar with wine refrigeration and racking. Back at the main level, the family, dining, and living rooms all have access through French doors to the rear yard which includes an ample outdoor entertaining space with multiple seating and dining areas, covered loggia with heaters, fireplace, custom kitchen, and bar. The nearly one-acre flat parcel is ideal for large formal celebrations to impromptu touch football games. This is a very special turn-key estate in the heart of San Marino awaiting its next owner.
