2035 S Oak Knoll Ave

Located in San Marino's prestigious Oak Knoll estates, just south of the Langham Hotel, this one-of-a-kind property is sited on nearly 1.5 acres of flat land including a tennis court, spa and expansive lawns. Gated entry opens to a circular motorcourt around an enchanting lily pond, providing ample guest parking in addition to two separate garages. Built in 1948, the residence displays an inviting elegance including rich parquet floors and millwork extending from the foyer to a dual-parlor living room and sunroom connected by disappearing pocket doors. Built-in bookshelves and a brick hearth fireplace create the ultimate cozy retreat, and exposed-beam ceilings and a wet bar in the sunroom are enhanced by walls of windows overlooking the lush exterior. In the large formal dining room, French doors open to the shaded patio for easy indoor-outdoor entertaining. A butler's pantry leads to the very spacious kitchen and breakfast area, as well as one downstairs bedroom suite with a walk-in closet. Four bedrooms are found upstairs, including one junior suite and the primary suite featuring a fireplace, sitting room, oversized walk-in closet, and access to front and rear balconies that span nearly the full length of the home. In the backyard, the patio and lawn are bordered by mature trees to offer a tranquil and secluded setting. The N/S lighted tennis court has a covered pavilion where you can spectate or rest between sets, and the second garage provides parking for 4 cars and abundant storage in the attic space. All within moments of local dining and shops, freeways, top-rated schools, and historic landmarks. A rare opportunity in one of LA's best neighborhoods!
