EVEREST HOME 

In 1909, Arthur R. Kelly designed this Craftsman home for Arthur J. Everest. Kelly’s pedigree had begun while working for the architectural firm, Greene and Greene in Pasadena. From there he opened his own architectural firm and went on to design over 500 homes and buildings, including the Christie Hotel in Hollywood and the Arthur Letts, Jr. Estate (aka “The Playboy Mansion”).

This landmark home stands prominently on a corner lot within a street of historic landmark homes. A masterpiece example of “Craftsman” style and architectural integrity, the home is set upon two parcels which total nearly 27,000 square feet.

The entry level features a formal entry hall, a living room with box-beam ceilings, a dining room set off from the house at a dramatic angle, a remodeled kitchen with top-of-the line appliances, a sitting parlor with unique original lighting, two half bathrooms, one bedroom/nanny’s quarters, and a game room. The amazing architectural details include hardwood floors, leaded glass windows, period style lanterns, built-in cabinets and three fireplaces (two Batchelder).

The upper level consists of five spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a sleeping porch/office, a sitting room/nursery and two additional fireplaces. The semi-finished basement spans almost the entire first floor footprint of the home and adds an additional 2353 sq ft of usable space within which there is a built-in wine cellar for 1100 bottles, a laundry area, storage, and room for much more.

The home is graced with a stunning wrap-around porch and rear patio with a Batchelder fountain. A heated pool, tennis court original to the house, a three car garage with an additional, finished 515 square foot studio above, highlight the features outside the main home. In its 100-year history, only a few fortunate families have been able to call this home! Wouldn’t you like to be next?
