1345 Parkview Ave

This exceptional 5-bedroom, 7-bathroom home, originally built in 1937 by the renowned architects Marston & Maybury, offers a formidable combination of pedigree architecture and A+ location. The beautiful property overlooks Brookside golf course and showcases sweeping and unobstructed views of the San Gabriel mountains with glorious morning sunrises and pink mountain sunsets.  Original details throughout this light-filled home lend architectural gravitas: gleaming hardwood floors, gorgeous iron work and mill work, handsome moldings, and many thoughtful built-ins. The light and bright living room enjoys the mountain views and is centered on a pretty fireplace with large French doors that open into a roomy library. A large formal dining room provides ample space to entertain dinner guests with French doors leading out to the lushly landscaped and private backyard. The homey kitchen is attached to a window-framed family room providing additional space for friends and family to gather. A large office at the front of the house overlooks the mountain views and provides an adaptable flexible room.  Two stylish powder rooms complete the downstairs inventory.  Upstairs, the primary suite features a romantic fireplace with a limestone mantle and French doors leading out to a balcony with gorgeous golf course and mountain views. There are two designer bathrooms attached to the primary bedroom plus two large closets. Each of the three remaining bedrooms has an attached and recently remodeled bathroom offering privacy and convenience. Currently one of the bedrooms is used as a gym.  Situated in a beautifully landscaped and private 11,710 square-foot lot, the property also features a newly refinished pool and spa surrounded by patios, pergolas and an outdoor fireplace. The gorgeous yard includes extensive and dramatic exterior lighting for security and entertainment, and extends back to  a three-car garage providing additional green space for pets, kids and outdoor activities.
