Property Description

Step into a living legacy with "The Oaks," an extraordinary Southern California landmark that seamlessly marries meticulously restored Victorian grandeur with sophisticated farmhouse aesthetics. This rare offering presents a unique opportunity for stewardship, benefiting from a substantial property tax reduction of approximately 75%. Set behind a lush privacy hedge and finished entirely in rare, old-growth redwood, the residence unfolds across sixteen elegant rooms, many boasting soaring twelve-foot ceilings and five decorative fireplaces that anchor the home’s historic soul. Visitors are welcomed through double doors with frosted panes onto a magnificent veranda, leading into a grand entrance hall where a stately fireplace serves as a centerpiece for the formal sitting area. The main level is designed for both grand-scale entertaining and intimate living. An expansive living room flows effortlessly into a sun-drenched parlor, while the private dining room evokes a bygone era of elegance with its original china cabinet and integrated dumbwaiter. The service wing houses a modern culinary suite featuring a 48" Monogram stove, side-by-side refrigeration, and a spacious pantry, alongside an office and a dedicated service porch. For added convenience, the main floor includes a luxurious en-suite bedroom featuring an updated bathroom with a dual-sink vanity and custom tiled shower. Architectural artistry reaches its pinnacle at the staircase, where a newel post surmounted by a lamp-lit sculpture enchantingly evokes the fairy queen from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The upper level reveals a spacious landing and sitting area, four generous bedrooms, a trunk room plumbed for future expansion, and a versatile den ideal for a private library. Modern infrastructure provides peace of mind, including a 50-year Presidential roof, dual-zoned HVAC, copper plumbing, and gleaming hardwood floors. Outside, the grounds are a sanctuary of tranquility, featuring garden fountains, a sprawling rear patio perfect for a future pool, and a circular driveway leading to a detached two-car garage. Located just moments from the vibrant boutiques and dining of Myrtle Avenue, this is more than a home—it is a timeless work of art
