This magnificent Italian Palladian Villa, designed in 1913 by architect Robert D. Farquhar, is strategically positioned on over two acres in the prestigious Estate area of San Marino. Totally private and gated, a circular drive along mature manicured gardens and sheltering oaks welcomes you. The front entrance has been refined with an antique glass marquee cover and is a glamorous introduction to the romantic interior reminiscent of the Beaux Arts period. Marble columns, 16 foot high filigree ceilings hardwood floors, and wood paneling contribute to the grand style of this 9,912 square foot mansion. The formal foyer provides a perfect passageway to the oval paneled library and the grand living room, with Palladian doors opening to the gardens on three sides. Matching the stately dimensions of the living room, in perfect symmetry is a 35 by 22 foot formal dining room with a beautiful fireplace and access to the conservatory, which was added in 1979. Additionally off the entry, there is an atrium, circular staircase, elevator, and two powder rooms. The butler's pantry, remodeled kitchen, and family room have all been updated with integrity and remain true to the original architecture.

Upstairs there are five bedrooms, five baths, a media room, an open family room, and a flexible floor plan. The City of San Marino is a residential oasis, with blue ribbon schools, just minutes away from the cultural and financial centers of downtown Los Angeles.
