Reminiscent of Southern Living, you are welcomed with a good old fashioned stunning screened in front porch to sit and sip your coffee while looking out at your rose garden.

Come take a look for yourself at this rare architectural offering, full of possibilities, in a dream location on prestigious Arden Road, close to Cal Tech, The Langham Hotel, The Huntington Library, and all the great shops and restaurants on South Lake Ave. Take advantage of this special opportunity!
