Property Description

La Canada Flintridge Grandeur! History lives in the land of this extraordinary La Cañada Flintridge property. With over 1.3 acres located on a prestigious tree-lined private street, the opportunity to own a piece of history on a home site of this size does not present itself often. The existing 3,600-square-foot home was built in 1975 by the current owners, after a fifteen-room mansion designed by Louis du Puget Millar succumbed to fire in 1971. Millar, who designed several well-known houses in Pasadena along the Arroyo, was commissioned by Charles H. Hamilton, a wealthy real estate investor, to design the previous structure. Whether seeking a project to restore the two-story colonial-inspired structure or reimagining a new future for this magnificent site, this exceptional property provides limitless possibilities for either option. The four-bedroom and three-bathroom home includes an expansive front porch with all its Southern charm. The grand entry with 19-foot-tall ceilings opens up to a spacious living room, dining room, and family room – all part of the well-designed floor plan for social living. Beautiful floor to ceiling French windows and doors adorn many rooms in the home allowing for an abundance of light. All bedrooms are on the second level which also includes an office. The old stone steps on the west side of the property are the only remaining remnants of the historical mansion, leading up to the 12-by-35-foot swimming pool, which was constructed in 1976 by the current owners. This unique estate home boasts a prestigious address in a distinguished neighborhood, and it is an exceptional opportunity for its future owners.
