Sprawling single story California Craftsman built in 1923 on expansive, sun-filled 27,440 square foot lot in the most picturesque section of highly desirable Rustic Canyon. Set beyond towering old growth oak trees amidst lush foliage and magical gardens, and organized around a sun-drenched courtyard with outdoor fireplace, this timeless estate offers the romance, charm and rich history of early California and The Uplifters’ Ranch along with the clean, contemporary lines, sun-filled spaces and modern amenities desired for today’s lifestyle. Reimagined by much-admired and widely published Marmol Radziner architects, FAIA, the centerpiece of the home is a fabulous “great room” which consists of a cook’s kitchen, family gathering & breakfast areas and opens to private, resort-like grounds with patios, sport court, field-size lawn, swimmer’s pool and spa. The central living room with vaulted tray ceiling and original craftsman detailing opens to both the front and rear gardens. There is also a cozy, inviting media room/den, large gym and two powder rooms. The family bedroom wing consists of four bedrooms and four baths, including a primary suite with dual baths. Set in the garden is a detached, self-contained two-room guest house with full kitchen and private courtyard. Other features and amenities include a bonus room that works great as a children’s playroom, generous laundry room and large detached storage room. Hardwood floors, extensive built-ins and authentic craftsman touches can be seen at every turn. Gated, quiet and completely private with an out-of-Los Angeles feel, yet in close proximity to the park, recreation center and beach, this magical property represents a once in a generation offering!
