Located in the heart of The Historic Claremont Village, this exceptional residence has been thoroughly refurbished by renowned design/build firm, Hartman Baldwin, masterfully blending early 20th-century character with modern living. The front yard is a peaceful retreat surrounded by lush greenery that frames the property in a sense of calm privacy. A screened front patio leads to the front entrance, setting the tone for the thoughtful design within. Inside, natural light fills the home through large windows seamlessly connecting the interior and the gardens beyond. The living room is a beautiful space anchored by a reading nook that overlooks the front yard. An impressive fireplace finished in Baldy firestone with a handcrafted cherry mantel adds warmth and architectural distinction. A private study offers a quiet place for work or reading, enclosed by custom doors and surrounded by windows. The dining room features a statement chandelier, large windows, and cork flooring that continues into the kitchen. Rooted in its 1922 architectural heritage, the kitchen is a remarkable showcase of craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Expansive in layout, it features handmade counter tiles from Mission Tile West in Pasadena, custom cabinetry with ample storage, and distinctive lighting. Modern updates, including a refrigerator with custom cabinet fronts that blend seamlessly into the design, preserve the kitchen’s original character while elevating its functionality. The main residence offers two bedrooms, an office, and two remodeled baths. The primary suite is spacious with a connected retreat area ideal for lounging or quiet reflection. A walk-in closet provides functional storage, while French doors open to the backyard, extending the living experience outdoors. The backyard is an inviting extension of the home. A deck crafted from Douglas fir and redwood overlooks the lush landscape, creating a peaceful setting for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The gardens are rich with mature plantings and attract frequent visits from songbirds, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. Multiple seating areas invite relaxation throughout the yard, and a cedar hot tub provides year round enjoyment. Completing the property is a detached cottage designed with the same attention to detail as the main home. The cottage includes a living room, full kitchen, a remodeled bathroom, and a comfortable bedroom, offering an ideal space for guests, extended family, or use as a private studio.
