1570 Charlton Rd

Some homes are simply meant to endure - built with intention, settled into their surroundings, and made more beautiful by the passage of time. 1570 Charlton Road is that kind of home.This single-level Colonial Revival masterpiece, architecturally designed and built in 1940 on nearly 0.4 acres in San Marino, features preserved period detailing and the symmetry and quiet confidence the traditional style demands. A brick path winds beneath a lush wooded back-drop to a statement entry that has welcomed this address for eighty-six years - and is ready to welcome someone new.Inside, mornings begin in a kitchen washed in skylight, with a butler's pantry of leaded-glass cabinetry built for the life you'll actually live there - the good coffee, the better wine. From here, the living and dining rooms unfold with real scale: one anchored by a brick fireplace for the evenings that turn cool, the other lit by a crystal chandelier for the dinners worth dressing up for. The family room opens through a wall of French doors to a private brick courtyard, where the boundary between indoors and out simply stops existing.The primary suite asks for nothing but rest: a serene bedroom, a remodeled bath built for slowing down, and a walk-in closet sized for the wardrobe you actually have. Three additional bedrooms and three baths offer room for family, for guests, or for the quiet luxury of space to spare.Beyond the walls, the grounds unfold with the kind of beauty that takes both design and decades to achieve. A pool, a raised spa, and a covered pergola framed by potted citrus and gardens, are perfect for creating cherished memories with friends and family. A two-car garage, a single story that asks nothing of you, and an address on one of San Marino's most coveted streets complete a residence that is, in every sense, rare.It is only a few short blocks from Lacy Park, the world-renowned Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, and the celebrated schools of the San Marino Unified School District; fine dining and the historic charm of Old Town Pasadena, along with the storied Langham Hotel, are just minutes beyond.Don't miss this home and make it 'Where Your Home Happens.'
