Property Description
Welcome to the enchanting Orrin White House--an extraordinary 1924 estate originally designed by celebrated architect Garrett Van Pelt, Jr., for acclaimed Plein-Air painter Orrin White and his family. One of the first homes in the area, this rare architectural gem was thoughtfully sited for its breathtaking views of Mt. Wilson and the San Gabriel Mountains, which inspired White's artistry. The frontage is unusually generous at 160 feet. Tucked behind tall hedges and a gated entrance on over half an acre of lush, private grounds, this home is a sanctuary of peace and refinement. The current owners, only the second caretakers of the property in its century-long history, have masterfully restored and updated the residence with a reverence for its original character. Enter the grand formal entry past the 9-foot custom alder front door where 12-foot ceilings, handcrafted plaster cornices, and a Swarovski bronze and crystal chandelier set a tone of quiet elegance. The formal living room is breathtaking--anchored by 18-foot-fitted-old-growth redwood beams, a 2-story window framing majestic oaks, a wood-burning fireplace, and original stamped-concrete floors, with a choir loft above. The gracious formal dining room accommodates 14 guests. It exudes romance with a fireplace, custom wrought iron pocket gates, and French doors that open to the gardens. The chef's kitchen, outfitted with vaulted, beamed ceilings, French doors to a front courtyard and side patio, and top-tier appliances including a Viking 6-burner stove and Sub-Zero refrigerator. A built-in bar with hammered copper sink
