DESCRIPTION:

This beautiful custom built home sits in a peaceful neighborhood of North San Gabriel adjacent to San Marino and Pasadena.

This is a two story Traditional with four bedrooms and four baths, a formal living room, family room with a full bar which opens to a huge kitchen perfect for entertaining.

The living room greets you with plenty of windows, coffered ceilings with recessed lights and a chandelier, marble wood fireplace and access to a lovely side yard.

Family room is more of a “great room” perfect for entertaining with a full bar complete with a mini fridge, wine rack and glass and oak cabinetry.  A marble fireplace, french doors leading to a spacious back yard, dining area and an open kitchen complete this entertainer’s dream.

The kitchen features an extra large island, custom built-in appliances, a large eat-in bar perfect for buffets and special occasions.  Lots of storage with pull out drawers, three kitchen “appliance garages” for easy access and storage of small appliances.

The front downstairs bedroom is a suite with a full bathroom.

At the back of the home, a separate bedroom and bath with its own entry and security system is waiting for your in-laws, guests or in-home business area.

Upstairs is a landing with plenty of windows showcasing the beautiful San Gabriel mountains and fruit trees that are on the property.  It leads to the Master Suite and another bedroom suite.

The Master Suite is enormous and features a sitting area and a cozy, marble gas operated (just turn the switch on!) fireplace.  This is truly a paradise for the ladies with a 22 ft walk in closet and a stand alone walk-in shoe closet.  Master bathroom has a stand alone shower with beautiful custom tiles, a step down jet spa, a bidet and double sinks.  A fun and very convenient feature is a laundry chute which leads directly to the downstairs laundry room.

Master suite leads out to a large balcony overlooking the back yard and offering spectacular views perfect for that morning cup of coffee.

The fourth bedroom has mirrored closet doors and its own full bathroom with custom tile work.

Throughout the house you will find recessed lighting, ceiling fans, dual pane vinyl windows with custom drapes, valances and shades.  Tons of storage throughout the house.  This home has even been pre-wired for Christmas lights.

Back yard has an above ground therapeautic spa, vegetable garden and plenty of fruit trees including apricots, figs, avocados, grapefruit and more.  Automatic sprinkler system for front, back and side yards.  Motion and manual outdoor lights have been installed for evenings out.

A five-car extra deep (4 ft deeper than usual) garage has double doors that open both to the street as well as the interior of the back yard.  What an opportunity for entertaining!   The garage is separated into two separate, but connecting garages – a 3 car garage and a 2 car garage.  Plenty of built-in cabinetry and a loft above for additional storage.

Special care was taken when this home was constructed to reinforce it with sheer paneling for extra earthquake protection, silent floors and a light composite roof.

This home truly has to be seen to be appreciated.  A wonderful opportunity to own a house of your dreams!
