//Walter H Seavey House by David A Ogilvie AIA, 1927//This fully renovated English Revival home was originally built for the family of investment banker Walter H Seavey & their three live-in employees. Designed by David A Ogilvie, who spent 5 years as an apprentice for Reginald Johnson before establishing his own office, & built by legendary Master Builder Peter Hall, the property was featured in the Jan 1928th ed. of Architectural Digest. Located in the prestigious Estates area in the hills of San Marino, the property was constructed in an era known for unmatched craftsmanship & 'old world' sourced materials, much of which are still exhibited today. Original: leaded glass windows w/pull-down screens, butler's pantry & 692sf lower-level prohibition bar were maintained. Complementing these elements, the house was renovated to allow for luxurious, modern living & flow.

From front circular driveway, the public front courtyard welcomes w/brick walkway leading to front door. Adjacent, a more casual seating area is harmonized w/the sound of running water from contemporary raised rectangular Koi Pond. For more private affairs, behind postern door, is the family courtyard & garden. Newly added outdoor kitchen w/BBQ, sink, & smoker services both bar & table seating in a European setting, surrounded by irrigated planters & overhead bistro lights. Perhaps the most striking element can be found in the wooded rear yard. The sound of flowing water emanates from upper waterfall that bends & flows 250' through trees & landscaping. Trails w/foot bridges intersect stream & terminate at pond at NE side of property. Whether used for daily exercise, contemplation or entertaining, it is truly a rare feature to still exist in a private setting. //FEATURES:4BR/3BA upper, 1BR Ste entry, 1BR Ste w/AC above garage, main & prep kitchens, butler's pantry, CAT 5, EV charging, workshop, underground downspouts. //Renovation: 400 amp electrical, copper plumbing w/instant H2O heaters, 3 HE HVAC, Lynx BBQ, smoker, fridge, steam shower.
