This charming English Farmhouse was designed by Wallace Neff in 1919 as a vacation cottage for his parents. Set on .21 acres, located on the East edge of the lower Riviera with city and ocean views, while also being close in to shops and restaurants of downtown. The heart of the home centers around the large English fireplace in the living room with wood beamed ceilings, & wide plank wood floors. Charming dining room with brick floors located just off the remodeled kitchen with honed marble counters, and period details including a walk in pantry. The home features four bedrooms and two baths. In addition there is a separate building which houses a guest studio with en suite bathroom. Numerous patios surround the home for easy entertaining, and a family garden is just off the kitchen. Neff lived in this home for several years before moving back to Pasadena. His career eventually took him in the direction of Spanish Colonial Revivals and Italian Villas, as well as the airform â€œbubble housesâ€ in the 40â€™s and 50â€™s. He designed several large estates in Montecito and Santa Barbara, as well as homes to the stars in the Southland.
