Welcome to the Ilsley House, a graceful Monterrey Revival styled home, built in 1932 by architect Arthur Fuesler; Much of the original detailing remains in tact, like the beautifully beamed ceilings and expertly milled woodwork. Stepping through the front door, you're transported to another time, the arched doorway beckons you in to a breezy living room; With two sets of french doors, a beautiful wood-burning fireplace, and incredible beamed ceiling featuring hand-carved corbels. Through to the formal dining room you'll find large windows, and yet another set of french doors to your patio, facilitating effortless entertaining and an indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The kitchen features plenty of storage, and some modern upgrades any cook will appreciate, like the Viking range with double ovens. Through the hall, the family room oozes warmth and coziness from the wood built-ins and gorgeous beamed ceilings. The main floor bedroom has it's own separate entrance, and once served as the private practice of Dr. Morrill Ilsley. There is also a full main floor bathroom; A convenience for in-laws, teens, or house guests. Upstairs, you'll find a bright and airy primary bedroom, with charming details like window seats, and access to the large verandah. The private dressing room and remodeled bathroom further enhance the appeal. Two additional bedrooms each abut the spacious hall bathroom, giving everyone plenty of space. There is also a bonus room, which would make a phenomenal art studio, office, or even playroom. Outside, the large porch runs the length of the house, beckoning you to enjoy the outdoors; Whether it's a refreshing dip in the pool, or sipping a glass of wine under the giant oak tree, there is space for anything you can imagine. At the back of the property, you find the 2-car garage, with the valuable bonus of a 1 bedroom 1 bath guest house situated atop. Easily rent this unit to offset your mortgage. Truly a one-of-a-kind estate, don't miss this opportunity to enjoy the incredible lifestyle that the Claremont Village has to offer. Unlike anywhere else in California, enjoy the sense of community engaging in the monthly art walks, or concerts in the park. And explore all the shopping and dining just steps from your door; This just might be your dream come true.
