244 Marguerita LN Pasadena, CA 91106

A magical 1927 Spanish Colonial Revival awaits within the Marguerita Lane Historic District, colloquially known as the Spanish Revival Village, an iconic LA neighborhood that delights all visitors and residents alike. Originally an artist's enclave envisioned and executed by architectural duo Burton and Denman Schutt, also known for Hotel Bel-Air and many storied estates throughout Beverly Hills and Bel Air, the community comprises a collection of 16 such charming cottages. Of these special relics, 244 Marguerita Lane is the Schutt Brothers' original 'studio house' and has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Tucked beneath towering shade trees and concealed by lush vegetation and a privacy gate of wood and iron, the home is replete with numerous period finishes and elements throughout, beginning with the home's red clay Spanish tile roof. Guests arrive into a brick-laid courtyard to discover an enchanting paradisal refuge under blue California skies. Through a rustic castle door is an entry that gives way to a formal living room with original stucco fireplace with raised hearth and hand-carved mantel with classic Greek bas-relief design, Saltillo tile flooring, inset shelving, exposed, hand-hewn beams, and elegant arches and niches. The rustic kitchen includes organic tile treatments, custom cabinetry, vintage stove with oversized plastered vent, and an iron chandelier over a built-in breakfast nook. The primary retreat is dreamy and perfect, with rich hardwood floors and reading alcove with built-in shelving, Gothic lion corbels, ornate sconces, and fine woodwork. The primary bath continues the home's theme and character. A guest bedroom suite features built-ins, hexagon Saltillo tile, retro sink and shower, and hand-painted tile-lined fireplace. Outside, entertain guests and dine al-fresco amidst verdant plantings including whispering Wisteria vines, climbing roses, olives, and elephant ears. Unique and irreplaceable; a well-preserved time capsule of Hollywood history; a soothing memory; a slice of nostalgia; an architectural prize for the creative collector.
