Property Description

Built in 1924, this grand Spanish Colonial Revival is filled with history & pride of ownership. Enter the private hideaway through the lush landscaping of mature trees & flowers. Walk up the front steps & enjoy the city views, particularly stunning at night. The welcoming living room with custom built windows bring the beautiful landscaping in and highlight the Calco (California Clay Prod. Co.,Rufus Keeler) custom tile hearth/chimney as a piece of antique art. These tiles were inspired by the main panel from The Temple of the Cross at Palenque, Mexico (circa 684-702 AD). The formal dining room, 10-foot ceilings, oak & birds eye maple floors throughout beautifully display the original charm. Curl up with a book in the paneled library/den with a cozy additional fireplace. The chef's kitchen with marble & stainless steel countertops has a sunny informal dining area. Don't miss the exquisite secret garden out back, it makes a lovely place for entertaining or relaxing. More features include a finished 2-car garage, a security entry gate, 384 sq. ft. basement and CA/FA. This home has been lovingly upgraded so as not to interrupt the feeling of a by-gone era. Originally the historic Langer Estate, this architectural jewel is Sierra Madre living at it's best.
