6 Beds ⋅ 6 Baths ⋅ SOLD Status
Set along one of the most prestigious corridors in San Marino, 1200 Virginia Road unfolds as a timeless estate where architectural heritage, scale, and setting converge into a rare offering of enduring significance. First time on the market, this exceptional residence is positioned on an expansive ~0.75-acre parcel along the coveted Virginia Road corridor, introduced by a gated entry and framed by majestic live oak trees that create a sense of arrival defined by privacy and natural beauty. Originally constructed in 1939, the home reflects the grace and symmetry of classic Colonial architecture an era defined by proportion, refinement, and enduring craftsmanship. Enhanced in 1948 by noted architect Ernest A. Bryant, the residence has evolved with a reverence for its origins, preserving its architectural integrity while offering modern livability. Neighboring the legendary Thornton Gardens, formerly the Katherine Emery Estate, this address is immersed in one of Southern California's most historically significant residential landscapes. Originally envisioned by master architect Myron Hunt with celebrated landscape design by Florence Yoch and Lucile Council, the surrounding environment remains protected and park-like, offering a rare sense of permanence, privacy, and curated beauty. Spanning approximately 6,485 square feet, the residence offers six bedrooms and six baths, thoughtfully arranged for both elegant entertaining and comfortable daily living. Expansive formal and informal spaces are complemented by refined detailing, generous ceiling heights, and a natural flow that honors the home's classic design. The estate is presented in turnkey condition, allowing for immediate enjoyment, while offering the opportunity for future cosmetic personalization, an ideal balance for buyers seeking both move-in readiness and long-term value enhancement. The grounds are equally compelling, featuring a large, flat yard ideal for recreation and entertaining, complemented by a private pool set within a tranquil garden setting. Enveloped by mature landscaping and estate-scale surroundings, the property offers exceptional privacy and usability an increasingly rare commodity in today's market, while still allowing for future enhancements if desired. Opportunities within this enclave remain exceedingly scarce, driven by the limited supply of large estate parcels, placement within one of California's most sought-after school districts, and a legacy of long-term ownership and generational wealth preservation. 1200 Virginia Road represents more than a residence; it is a heritage asset offering scale, provenance, and an irreplaceable setting within one of Southern California's most insulated luxury neighborhoods, appealing to discerning buyers seeking both immediate livability and enduring value.
