Designed in 1928 by renowned architect Emmet Martin, this stately 5-bedroom 6 bath palazzo, which was modeled after the Medici villas and featured in Architectural Digest the year after it was built, blends old-world elegance with modern amenities and a practical floor plan. Built for the owners of the Kay-Brunner Steel Casting company, the home features stunning original architectural elements -- wrought ironwork, a handmade entrance gate, chandeliers, sconces, carved wooden doors, ornamental steelwork, and hardwood floors -- intact and beautifully integrated throughout. A grand foyer and sweeping spiral staircase lead into the elegant living room with a classic marble fireplace and French doors opening to a large terrace with its own fireplace, ideal for romantic California evenings and indoor/outdoor entertaining. The formal dining room features dramatic wrought iron lighting and connects to a chef's kitchen and adjoining family room with Thermador and Viking appliances, an oversized center island with breakfast bar, and a walk-in pantry. A staircase off the family room leads to a storage basement. A guest bathroom with pool access, laundry room, and a large bedroom suite completes the main level. Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to four additional bedroom suites. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, dual vanity, shower, spa tub, and a private office space leading to a serene balcony. A separate terrace offers the perfect setting for morning coffee or watching the Lacy Park July 4th fireworks. The grounds feature an outdoor fireplace lounge, lighted paddle tennis court/sports court, heated pool and spa, lush gardens, a fountain, two car garage, and a circular driveway with ample parking. The home is close to Lacy Park, the Langham Hotel, and the Huntington Library, and situated in the award-winning San Marino school district.
