La Cañada | Spanish-inspired Art Deco Estate

Offering spectacular views, this is truly a house that must be seen to be appreciated. The Overell Estate, one of the most iconic and historic properties in the San Gabriel Valley, has been updated and expanded with the latest technology without losing its classic character. A unique blend of Spanish Colonial Revival and Art Deco architecture. The design, a collaboration between L.G. Scherer & Cyril Bennett, was completed in 1929.
 
There are two APNs totaling 1.18 acres with outstanding landscaping, including several fountains, a waterfall, koi pond, pool, spa, lanai, views galore, and entertainment areas. The current owners have taken the property to yet another level, remodeling the kitchen, landscaping, the pool twice, theatre equipment, and the master bathroom (2018) with custom tile, THG fixtures, and onyx. Unique cherry cabinetry designed specifically for the dressing area completes this suite.
 
There is an attached one-bedroom guest apartment with separate entry. All five bedrooms are ensuite, spacious, have tremendous closet space, and feature balconies. The three-level floor plan is excellent. In addition to the four bedrooms in the main house, there is an attached one-bedroom guest apartment with its own entrance. The property is meticulously landscaped and includes numerous outdoor water features, including fountains, a koi pond, an exquisite tiled infinity pool and spa, a lanai, panoramic views, and entertainment areas. Old-world charm is reminiscent of Hollywood glamour.
 

Altadena | 1913 Farm House

Statuesque trees grace the entrance of this 1913 vintage Farmhouse-style home, sited upon a 16,000+ square foot lot. While in need of some real tender, loving care, the charm remains intact. In addition to the home, there are two adjacent parcels which when added to the main lot, that equal a total of 35,000+ square feet. The opportunity exists to restore this grande dame to her glory days and create an estate to rival those of the surrounding neighborhood – or to develop the vacant lots into a separate new home as allowed by the county’s rules and regulations. Either way, the possibilities are endless. The seller prefers to sell the parcels together.

The main level features 3 bedrooms, including a primary suite, and are all similarly accented with exposed beamed ceilings. A second full bath completes this level. Downstairs, there is a fourth bedroom and bath, ideal for multi-generational living, guests, home gym or private office space and convenient direct access to the attached 2-car garage. Drought-tolerant butterfly and hummingbird plantings punctuate the back garden, respectfully designed for water conservation, without the sacrifice of color or interest. This property is truly a keeper and is one to be cherished by its next owner for as many years as its original.
