Perched atop a grassy knoll in the heart of the famed Sierra Madre Canyon, sits the aptly named "Empire Cottage at the Spring." (Its not really a cottage.) As you meander up your own stairway to heaven, the gentle sounds of a year-round, running stream set the mood for an unbelievable experience. Exhale deeply at the top of the path as you take in the sights and sounds of this immensely private and personal paradise. Majestic 200 year old oak trees and lush landscaping will soothe your eyes. Hand-built stone walls and a quaint bridge greet you at the entrance of this enchanted home. As your guests arrive at your front door, they will pull a chain, and then faintly hear, echoing from within, the old fashioned doorbell playing Westminster chimes from brass tubular bells hanging in the interior stairwell. Through the massive front door awaits a world of magic. An impressive 1920s chandelier and built-in cabinetry grace the entry room which opens onto a storybook living room complete with dark wood walls and a massive fireplace all of which exude the last vestiges of old money, grace and charm. The kitchen and the third bedroom/family room await the finishing touches that will bring these rooms to full completion. Climb the well-worn stairway to the second level with 2 bedrooms, a 3/4 bath and a laundry room. The laundry room includes a horizontal axis washer, gas dryer, an Elkay stainless steel laundry tub and built-in ironing board. Lights turn on/off automatically upon entering/exiting the laundry room. Bathrooms and laundry room have remotely located exhaust fans to ensure
