1260 Shenandoah Road, San Marino
A dazzling historic estate by noted architect Roland E. Coates built in 1926 for Annie Wilson, the daughter of local pioneer Benjamin D. Wilson after whom Mount Wilson is named, on land owned by George S. Patton. Superbly sited on 1.182 acres in San Marino’s most sought after location on the top of Shenandoah Road, a short walk to Lacy Park and San Marino tennis club. Graceful private gates lead you up to a brick accented circular drive, and a park like setting.
An impressive facade with a richly appointed entrance leads to a formal foyer with views to the rear of the property. An elegant hall space with floor to ceiling windows is the main axis of the property, which leads to brick patios and stairs to entertainment areas. To your left of the entry is a large dining room that can seat 25 guests, ideal for entertaining. To your right is the formal living room including custom moldings, a handcrafted fireplace, and views across the formal gardens to the pool area. An elevator serves all three floors including the basement level.
While the main house is at the heart of this impressive compound, a picturesque one-bedroom carriage cottage house looks across the property. This guesthouse is a perfect venue for casual entertaining with distinctive wood ceilings, custom lighting fixtures, and Nantucket bead-board throughout. The guesthouse includes a new kitchen, a full bath, and a bedroom with french-doors that lead to a private sitting area. The guesthouse has interconnected stairs and pathways to a private spa, pool house and large swimming pool. A luxurious pavilion currently used as an exercise facility, and an outdoor living area overlook the pool and park like setting amongst old growth oak trees.
