The Charles H Thorne House; an alluring Spanish Colonial revival masterpiece created by California's most renowned architect; Wallace Neff AIA. Inspired by the Mission San Juan Capistrano, Neff intentionally crafted this opulent estate centered around a romantic, verdant courtyard overflowing with floral gardens of bougainvillea and a focal, tiered fountain atop a sprawling 1.7-acre lot with expansive views of the San Gabriel Mountains and Valley. Originally designed for early Montgomery Ward leader and Occidental College trustee Charles H. Thorne during the 1920's Golden Age for architecture, this home has been expertly restored and lovingly cared for by its owners of the last five decades. Quietly concealed behind wrought iron gates on a private lane in the exclusive Los Altos neighborhood, just minutes away from the members-only Annandale Golf Club, is this architecturally notable stucco abode. Grand double glass doors, dramatic arches, wood-beamed ceilings, ornate iron details, and refined mosaic tiles are some of the many impressive design details carried throughout the 9,000+ SqFt main house. This thoughtfully curated floorpan is comprised of a chef's kitchen with black-and-white checkered floors, walk-in butler's pantry, library with custom built-in bookcases, and two generous primary bedrooms, each with luxurious en-suites, in addition to various living spaces. A grassy pad adorned by Italian stone pines and tile lined balconies complete this picture-perfect outdoor oasis.
