About this home
The Treasure of Sierra Madre! Captivating Spanish Colonial Revival designed by infamous architect Gordon Kaufmann, with rich history dating back to 1927, expressed through carefully curated, classic elements of the original period architecture. Naturally bright and private, the main courtyard radiates the grandeur of a flourishing great lawn opposite a breezy colonnade, massive arched front door, terracotta tiled center hall, cathedral ceilings with majestic, delicately carved exposed beams, focal wood-burning fireplace, and built-in cabinetry and millwork. Narrow, natural gauge original oak floors alternate with thick white stucco walls, all accentuated with ornamental ironwork and pops of green and pink through strategically positioned banks of French doors windows. A captivating floorplan encompasses formal living and dining rooms open to sheltered outdoor spaces, providing a harmonious balance of abundance of light and cool shade throughout the day. The spacious kitchen with adjacent breakfast room makes for a stately yet comfortable feel. A flex space such as game room, art, craft, writing studio, game or entertainment area, and office/guest bedroom, surrounded by expansive gardens, completes the first floor. Each of the three upstairs bedrooms, including the primary suite, lends beautiful period accents that elegantly contribute to the airy and generous scale - serving as a perfect canvas for the visionary who will bring this iconic property back to life! Available for the first time in 58 years, the timeless Kaufmann estate encompasses a two-level main house and a three-car garage with second story guest house casita, all majestically situated on nearly three quarters of an acre surrounded by magical serene and private grounds, gardens and pool at the end of the idyllic Olivera cul-de-sac, minutes away from all things downtown Sierra Madre!
