Majestic Italian Revival offers gracious living, privacy, and unparalleled craftsmanship. As the entry gates open, unveiling the long driveway and leading you to this grand estate, breathe in the fresh air and garden aromas of the rolling lawns and stunning rose garden. The oversized porte cochere welcomes you into this 1914 masterpiece and urges you inside where a stunning foyer and grand staircase set the tone for the home's scale and extravagance. Original woodwork and a classical fireplace bring elegance to the well-sized living room. From the living room, pocket doors lead you to the library while large glass French doors welcome you to the bright sunroom which offers convenient access to the surrounding grounds. The updated kitchen made for entertaining features a large center island and a butler's pantry with a sink. Sumptuous wood crown molding, wood windows, and French doors set a striking backdrop for dinner in the formal dining room. This home blends modern amenities to its classic features and includes substantial bedrooms all with attached bathrooms plus several offices, dens, a gym, and a large studio with private entrance. The primary bedroom suite features an expansive private terrace overlooking the 30,000 SF of manicured grounds with multiple patios, gardens and fruit trees. This is what you picture when you think of an Altadena Estate
