Description

Designed by noted mid-century architect John Galbraith in the late 1960s and reflective of his keen attention to the feel of the era, this gracious one-story home sits on a .78 acre lot with over 280 feet of frontage and a beautifully landscaped rear garden with pool, winding paths, and mature trees and plantings. The interior features exposed oak and walnut parquet floors, living room with expansive windows overlooking the rear patio, pool, and grounds beyond, a vaulted and beamed wood ceiling family room with built-ins and wet bar, and a study/office with built-ins and adjacent bath. The home offers a skylit kitchen with built-ins, formal dining room, a primary suite with two baths and two walk-in closets, a secondary primary with en-suite bath, a guest bedroom with nearby bath, and a den that could serve multiple purposes. There is a lower level game room with pool table, accessible from a wide staircase off the main hall, which could be an ideal theater room and includes a closet appropriate for wine storage. The home offers abundant storage both inside and in the attached three-car garage. Special features include new paint in many rooms, new floor coverings in the primary suite, secondary suite dressing area and bath, and game room, remotely activated fireplaces, six year old roof, and a potting bench for the extensive garden areas. Close to South Lake shopping and dining, Polytechnic School, and CalTech, this is a rare offering on one of the city's most peaceful and desirable cul-de-sacs.
