Architect Whitney Smith and builder Phillip Roulac envisioned the conversion of a brick pump-house, once used to bring water to Wilson Lake- now Lacy Park in San Marino, into a contemporary style home filled with natural light. Featured in Modernism Rediscovered by Serraino & Shulman, the property has undergone a fascinating metamorphosis.Every room in the house has been restored, with new custom designed doors, hardware, windows and lighting throughout the home. The result is a striking combination of the original brick pump-house from the early part of the twentieth century and the modern lines and conveniences of today.The home includes a dramatic living room with fireplace, parquet floors, and exposed brick walls. The open floor plan flows from one room to the next, creating a more urban feel, yet the home is surrounded by lush gardens and numerous patios. The floor plan includes a large guest suite adjacent to the kitchen, an intimate library, and a light-filled studio with custom built-ins and an additional fireplace. This wonderful space opens to the pool area, as well. There are five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, in total. The generously sized primary suite is located on the second level. The upstairs also has an additional bedroom/flex space as part of the primary retreat. The other two ensuite bedrooms are located on the first level. All bathrooms have been updated. A two car enclosed carport is located near the entrance gate of the compound and has convenient access to the kitchen.The property, sited on over half an acre, is walled and gated creating a serene setting, yet is located only minutes to South Lake shopping and restaurants, The Langham Huntington Hotel and The Huntington Library and Gardens. Kewen Canyon is an idyllic setting located conveniently to all the community has to offer.
