The Baker House, c. 1923 - by renowned architect Elmer Grey (Beverly Hills Hotel, Huntington Library/Museum & Pasadena Playhouse) is a historical treasure. With an impressive facade this stately English Revival-style residence exudes class, eloquence & sophistication from every room. For the last three years the loving owners have restored and re-imagined this architectural jewel with extreme care/detail. Notable original characteristics include a formal entryway, detailed & beamed ceilings, leaded glass windows, ornate wrought iron on the grand curving staircase, sumptuous coffered wood & plaster work, Batchelder tile & the fan-favorite living room fireplace. The detached garage functions as a home office with a kitchenette and permitted upstairs suite. One over of an acre there is ample room to add a pool. The home resides prominently in the partially gated Country Club Park whose vibrant history now attracts a multi-ethnic community with preservation-minded residents. Excellent Hancock Park alternative. A property that must be seen in person to truly appreciate the details and craftsmanship.
