Property Description
Enter into a rare blend of history, artistry, and exquisite architectural details at this 1921 European Revival Villa, a wonderful example of Altadena's architectural heritage. Designed by Pasquale de Rosa, his first commission upon arrival in Los Angeles. Pasquale later designed homes for Zane Grey and the Armor family, among others. This exquisite estate sprawls over half an acre of landscaped grounds, offering a personal sanctuary with breathtaking, panoramic mountain vistas. Every element of this compound evokes a sense of a bygone era, from the elegant main residence and guest quarters to the enchanting gardens. The home's H-shaped plan showcases a roofline with elegant rounded gables, sculptural carved rafter tails, and dramatic starburst oculi - hallmarks of Pasquale's design. A fabulous central living room with six sets of French doors across the north and south walls provides views and wonderful light. Architectural details abound: original carved mahogany woodwork, ornate sconces, and custom plaster moldings blend effortlessly. The formal dining room is graced with coved ceilings and French doors--an updated eat-in kitchen--perfect for culinary inspiration. A tranquil den, complete with its own decorative fireplace and direct access to the garden, offers a private retreat. The 2,875 SF main house boasts four bedrooms, including two primary suites-one with an ensuite bath, the other opening directly to the tranquil backyard gardens via a French door-and a 632 SF guest studio with handsome tongue-and-groove paneling, a modern three-quarter bath, and laundry facilities. A versatile additional structure awaits your vision--whether as an inspiring art studio, a private office, or a state-of-the-art gym.1275 New York Drive offers a distinctive living experience in a beloved neighborhood where history, refinement, and scenic beauty converge.
