The Saint Estaban Farmhouse, built in 1926 with stone work by prominent mason George Harris and later expanded by legendary Pasadena architects Gable & Wyant, is a deliberate marriage of enchanting, country-style living and modern household needs. Tucked in the foothills of the Verdugo Mountains just beyond the bustling center of Los Angeles, this residence offers a serene retreat while maintaining convenient access to city amenities. Nestled atop a series of river rock walls and terraces, the home has been carefully restored and thoughtfully upgraded by the current owners, with a focus on timeless design and enduring materials to last another 100 years. Stepping through the front door reveals a bright, curated living space featuring refinished oak floors, meticulously restored character-defining wooden windows, a wood-burning fireplace, and broad views of the surrounding mountains and tree canopy. The expansive dining area flows into a custom kitchen by Sunday Supper Club, paying homage to the home's 1920s origins. Built with wide plank acacia countertops, maple cabinetry, Tabarka tiles, a Shaws sink, Devol fixtures, an Ilve range, and Snyder Diamond appliances, every element has been thoughtfully selected to ensure durability, functionality, and style. The main level also includes a charming beadboard-clad mudroom, built-in bench nook, walk-through pantry, and a recently renovated powder room. Upstairs, 2 generous bedrooms and 1 oversized bathroom offer a tranquil haven and the flexibility for a guestroom or home office. The lower level presents a private, fully renovated 1/bedroom 1/bathroom apartment complete with its own kitchen and private entrance. As meticulously designed as the main residence, this space feels like a private countryside cottage retreat, perfect for visiting family, guests, or an au pair. For TV and movie lovers, a custom-designed theater awaits, outfitted with Dolby Atmos 5.1 surround sound speakers and capable of accommodating a 72-inch screen. The street-level garage has been converted into a functional space equipped with its own mini-split air unit, ideal for use as a gym or workshop. The sale includes 8 parcels of land, offering multiple outdoor spaces including four distinct patios and a pergolaperfect for entertaining family and friends during pink sunsets or morning coffee. A fully enclosed catio connects into the home allowing pets to enjoy the outdoors unaccompanied, safe from local wildlife. Other recent upgrades include termite mitigation, sewer line clean out, drainage upgrades, foundation repairs, installation of a new electrical panel, a tankless water heater, and an extensive front yard overhaul which features native plants and a drip irrigation system. Just steps from the Cross of San Ysidro trail, a brief drive to the Angeles National Forest, and local grocery stores, restaurants, and boutiques nearby. This property offers a rare blend of city convenience and natural tranquility. An exceptional opportunity at an incredible value.
