A rare Sylvanus Marston masterpiece- this English Country residence (1929) is sited on a park-like 31,736 sq ft parcel of lush formal gardens and majestic oaks. Trained at Cornell, Marston is celebrated for elegantly proportioned residences, meticulous site planning, and superb craftsmanship–hallmarks that helped define Southern California’s early 20th-century domestic landscape.The estate’s composition — principal rooms oriented to garden views, thoughtfully arranged circulation, and finely scaled exterior massing — exemplifies Marston’s signature site-responsive planning and seamless integration of house and landscape. Character features include custom millwork and built-ins, original hardware, discreet staff quarters, and an enchanting rear-garden entertainment pavilion centered on a substantial fireplace — all creating an ideal setting for refined indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. Impeccable period proportions, elegant detailing, and timeless curb presence offer a refined canvas for collectors and discerning buyers seeking architectural provenance and serene privacy. This wonderful property has been in the same family since 1973 and awaits its new owners.
