Step back in time to the dramatic flair and elegant beauty of the Batson House, a stately Historic Spanish estate on a generous 17,358-square-foot lot. A wide porch welcomes you to a beautifully carved wood front door with leaded glass sidelights. As you enter the grand foyer, your eyes are immediately drawn to the exquisite staircase adorned with a custom iron railing, a tray ceiling with ironwork and gold accents, vintage lighting, intricate wood inlaid floors, and archways complete with elegant pocket doors- each feature competing for your attention. The immense living room is quite the statement with crystal chandeliers set into faux painted clouds on the tray ceiling, fireplace, and stunning inlaid hardwood floors. The formal dining room boasts a crystal chandelier set in a coved, tray ceiling with carved trim. The large arched window brings in natural light and the inlaid wood floors gleam. The spacious kitchen features granite countertops, wood cabinetry, and carved wood molding, professional-style 6-burner range and hood, and an expansive island with seating. The adjoining breakfast nook is a sunny, cheerful space with a built-in cabinet, chandelier, and coved ceiling. The family room is a study in warm-toned wood, showcasing beautiful wood-paneled walls, built-in shelves, parquet floors, and a fireplace. Large sliding glass doors open to the patio and pool. 4 spacious bedrooms and 5 baths, including an expansive downstairs master suite with a private bath and an adjoining retreat opening onto its own private patio overlooking the pool. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a large ensuite bedroom. Additionally find an oversized laundry room, an office with attached full bath that also opens to the patio – perfect for pool access, an abundance of storage, an unfinished basement, and a cedar-lined walk-in closet. Outside discover an oasis with a generously sized pool and a vintage Polynesian long house-style entertainment room, about 560 sf, with beamed ceiling, natural fiber wallpaper, lava rock fireplace, kitchenette, and sliding doors that open to the pool! Oversized garage, mature landscaping, and a Japanese magnolia add to the home’s charm. In the Hadley Greenleaf Historic District and the Mills Act for tax saving, only a few blocks to the Whittier College and a few more to Downtown Whitter with its vibrant restaurants and shopping.
