1935 STONEHOUSE ROAD, SIERRA MADRE CA 91024

Crafted by noted architect John Andre Gougeon, a student of Buff and Hensman and former staff architect with John Lautner, the Heflin House is a one-of-a-kind Sierra Madre architectural home nestled on one of the most captivating view lots in the San Gabriel Valley. The definition of warm modern resort-style living, the home offers an open floorplan, beamed construction, extensive architect-designed masonry and floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the stunning views of the San Gabriel Mountains, Downtown LA and the Pacific Ocean in the distance. On a clear day, the sight of Catalina Island comes into view, bringing a sense of peace amidst the pristine calm of surrounding nature. A truly hidden gem, with a gated, curving driveway and low-water landscaping, the home not only provides the utmost privacy but also features a generously-sized lap pool with impressive depth as well as a sweeping yard and private hiking paths. The interior of the home is bright and airy with abundant natural light from the expansive windows, skylights, and numerous patios and balconies, defining the California indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Warm Canadian wood and Italian stone have been applied extensively throughout the house, from floors, ceilings and walls to built-in cabinetry, a showcase hand-crafted sculptural staircase and central hearth. Featuring a generous kitchen, executive library, wine room, sauna with soaking tub, three fireplaces, dining room with wet bar, sunken family room and breakfast area, this masterful home remains original to the architect's vision in nearly every way. Pop down to the Norman Rockwell-esque village of Sierra Madre, with locally-owned shops, restaurants and amenities in its quaint commercial shopping district. Only 20 miles from the Studios and DTLA, this spectacular home provides the best of both worlds: privacy and proximity. FOR NAVIGATION PURPOSES, PLEASE USE THE ADDRESS 838 CAMILLO ROAD
