Located on a quiet street in a very desirable San Marino neighborhood, this home lends itself to the very best of indoor/outdoor living.

French doors open to the backyard with spectacular gardens, a majestic oak tree, patios, firepit ring, dartboard court, pool and hot tub - a perfect place to entertain in this tranquil parklike setting. The kitchen is a functional area that opens to a welcoming breakfast nook, as well as a laundry room and bedroom/bath. Up the grand staircase in the entry there is an airy master suite with French doors opening onto a cheery sun porch.
