At nearly 7080 sqft, this grand Tudor in the coveted San Rafael Hills is as impressive today as when it was built in 1926. Award-winning architect Donald R. Wilkinson created this CA interpretation of Tudor elegance, where huge multi-paned casement windows & French doors paint light over the soaring arched & beamed ceilings & vast oak floors.Set on a rise, shaded by mature trees, the stately half-timber style residence commands panoramic views over the treetops to the foothills & downtown Pas. In the beamed entry hall, a wide arched doorway frames the expansive step-down living room with its vaulted ceiling & vast oak-framed bay window. To the side, a full wall of paneled oak surrounds a copper-hooded fireplace. Original details abound, from showpiece lighting fixtures & lavish dining room ceiling medallion to period tile & built-ins. Upstairs, a hallway connects 6 of the 7 bedrooms, accented by charming dormer ceilings & steel casement windows. The home includes a lower level guest quarters with kitchenette & a 3 car detached garage. It has been copper piped & was re-roofed in 2007. This magnificent estate is moments from Old Town Pas, The Rose Bowl, downtown LA & major freeways. May be eligible for 'Mills Act' status. 1st time on the market in 56 years
