2889 Gainsborough Drive
San Marino, CA 91108
This stunning Mediterranean gem is located near the award-winning San Marino High School. On the market for the first time in 30 years, the estate features exquisite public rooms, five spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, a library and a massive basement, making it the perfect blend of elegance and practicality. A lovely portale and central courtyard lead to the handsome front door. Inside, a romantic foyer displays a curved staircase with wrought iron banisters and terracotta flooring sets the tone. Behind a decorative wrought iron gate, the step-down grand ballroom living room showcases multiple French windows with views of the center courtyard, portale, and a picturesque window framing the front garden. This expansive space is adorned with 13' high open beamed ceilings, an authentic Spanish fireplace with marble hearth, an arched niche with display shelves, and a French door leading to the side garden. The library with built-in bookcases & a cozy fireplace has a vintage built-in wet bar tucked behind a beautiful wooden door. The formal dining room features wood beams accented with decorative carved corbels and scrollwork. A French door opens to the gated driveway area, and a swing door connects to a sunny breakfast room that opens to the rear patio. The kitchen features custom hand-painted tiles and adjoins a good-size mudroom that houses the laundry facility and a built-in workstation. A private guest bedroom with an adjacent full bath completes the 1st level. Other architectural details include doorway arches, original mahogany doors, and beautiful hardwood floors throughout. Upstairs are four bedrooms: two on the east wing access traditional wooden balconies through French doors; two on the west wing have French doors that open to Juliet balconies. A large full bath is centrally located, and the primary bedroom has another large ensuite bathroom. The vast basement is the perfect home for a lavish wine cellar and tasting room. Step outside into your own private oasis with a sparkling pool and spa surrounded by serene gardens that beckon on warm California days. A secret garden, accessible from the living room, is hidden behind tall hedges and a garden fence from the front yard - a perfect space for outdoor games or a lawn party. The detached 3-car garage sits at the end of a long gated driveway. This well-loved home offers so much potential for the lucky new owner to make wonderful memories for decades to come!
