Property Details

Description

//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. In addition to systems, BD's & BA's, the star of this endeavor is the impressive 25'x30' Great Room with 20' ceilings & destressed, antique French oak flooring. Now the heart of the house, the incorporated kitchen w/large island & Subzero & Wolf appliances flows seamlessly into informal dining, work desk & seating/TV area w/surround sound.//With the vision of a master architect, Ogilvie sited the living space to allow for public & private outdoor areas. 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.

"My Mom passed away 1/31/21 needless to say it was a very difficult time for me. I needed help selling my mothers home. I reached out to Ever and he stepped up big! From the beginning he was a true professional great communication skills, great attitude, always made time for me and answered any questions I had. He showed compassion for my situation and went above and beyond to make things as easy as possible for me. Go with Ever you won’t regret it!"

"I worked with Ever through the process of an Estate Sale and sale of a condominium. Throughout the experience he and his team were extremely helpful. I had never been involved with an estate sale previously and was working with the additional factor of not being local. After an initial meeting I was able to deal with he and his team remotely which simplified the entire process and experience. Any questions or issues I had were very quickly addressed and resolved. My entire experience was very positive. Thank You!"

"Ever was simply excellent. He is thorough, approachable and very knowledgable of the house buying process. We appreciated his manner and help throughout our purchase process - he never made us feel pressured to select a house and helped us find a perfect match. He was especially helpful when we needed to juggle urgent travel during the Escrow process, helping us set up power of attorney. We would recommend Ever to any type of buyer and will certainly use him for any future real estate needs that we have."
