Freistehendes Einfamilienhaus Mit 5 Schlafzimmern

Welcome to a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most architecturally significant and storied estates in La Canada Flintridge. Nestled among majestic heritage oak trees in the prestigious Flintridge enclave, Wildewood Estate is a 1926 Spanish Colonial masterpiece set on a 40,523 square foot lot, designed by architect Ray J. Kieffer. It offers both historical provenance and extraordinary Mills Act tax advantages, with estimated annual property tax savings of approximately $75,000. Believed to have been offered for sale only once in its history, this is a legacy property of uncommon distinction. Officially recognized as the First Historically Significant Residence in La Canada Flintridge, the estate holds a distinguished place in the community’s architectural legacy and has been featured in leading design publications, including Homes & Gardens, which recognized it as ’one of the world’s best homes’ for its thoughtful blend of modern comfort and original character. Over 17 years, the current owners undertook an extraordinary restoration, preserving original details while enhancing the home for modern living. Specialized architects and skilled tradespeople ensured period-appropriate work. Improvements include a full rebuild of the kitchen and all bathrooms, a new front courtyard, expanded backyard deck, and a downstairs wine room. The former domestic help quarters above the three-car garage have been rebuilt and now serve as a private home office with a kitchenette and bath. The two-story residence showcases authentic Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, with east- and west-facing patios and an inviting upstairs sitting porch. A dramatic coffered-ceiling entry with leaded-glass windows introduces interiors rich in character, including a grand living room with open-beam ceilings and fireplace, formal dining room, breakfast room, chef’s kitchen with butler’s pantry, and guest powder room. Upstairs, the primary suite features a fireplace, dressing room, Malibu tile bath, and large closet, alongside a secondary suite and two additional bedrooms. In total, the estate features five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths. The grounds offer sweeping views of the San Gabriel Mountains and historic Flintridge, while a drive-through driveway from two wooded lanes enhances privacy and presence. Wildewood Estate is a preserved piece of Southern California architectural history offering grandeur, romance, and enduring financial advantage through the Mills Act designation.
