Property Description

This classic Mid-Century Ranch, designed in 1949 by architect Merrill W. Baird, AIA, is set on a large lot in a prime Flintridge location.

The light-filled floor plan features three bedrooms, including a gracious primary suite, two and three-quarter baths, spacious living room, dining area, family room and retro eat-in kitchen complete with adjacent laundry room and pantry. Architectural details and quality materials -- two fireplaces, newly-refinished hardwood floors, plaster walls, custom milled paneling, multi-paned wood windows, period tile and extensive built-ins -- are found throughout. Additional amenities include central heat, fresh interior and exterior paint, new stainless appliances and attached two-car garage, plus a separate storage room. In the rear, a broad deck projects into the private, park-like yard, where mature camellias and other plantings are sheltered by the canopy of majestic oaks that filter sunlight throughout the day. Sited in an award-winning school district and in close proximity to Descanso Gardens, this home maintains a sense of retreat from the urban hustle while being conveniently close to a thriving commercial center. It stands ready for its next generation of stewardship.
