The 1920s was the Golden Age for Southern California architecture and an era of unprecedented wealth, where opulent mansions were built in spectacular locations. Famed architect Wallace Neff created one such masterpiece in1928, The Charles H Thorne House, an exceptional Spanish Colonial revival for the chairman of retail giant Montgomery Ward. Perched on a majestic 1.7-acre view knoll overlooking the San Gabriel Mountains & Valley, this magnificent estate sits on a private gated lane in the exclusive Los Altos neighborhood, across from Annandale Golf Club & minutes from DTLA & the West side. Lovingly restored by its owners of 50 years, Neff masterfully crafted this lavish view home around a romantic central courtyard with flowering bougainvillea & fountain, inspired by the Mission San Juan Capistrano. With its thick arched walls, intricate grillwork, carved doors, ornate fixtures & patterned tiles, this gated oasis features a versatile floorplan with grand public rooms, 3 fireplaces, a stunning LR boasting 20' tall beamed ceilings, a dramatic DR, cozy den. comfortable library, spacious chef's kitchen, ten BRs, remodeled BAs, refinished wood floors, newer HVAC, copper plumbing, guest quarters & much more.
