Description
A one-story, architectural masterpiece on a 10,800-square-foot corner lot, situated on one of the area’s most prestigious historical streets. This contemporary 1970 home draws inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright’s timeless designs, with expansive floor-to-ceiling and clerestory windows inviting natural light to flood in. The entry makes a striking impression, with sweeping, low-terraced steps, symmetrical pools, a fountain, double entry doors, and a cantilevered awning sheltering the 716-square-foot porch, setting the tone for this serene, elegant space that brings the outdoors inside. Custom designed by the owner of Bing’s Cathay Inn —one of the area's finest dining establishments for over 3 decades —the home showcases refined Asian-inspired touches, including a professionally designed built-in wok in the kitchen, sliding Asian doors, and designer wood partition separating the living room from the foyer. The living room offers a sophisticated yet inviting ambiance with its step-down entrance, sleek built-in bar with dual wine coolers, espresso-colored cabinets, soaring brick fireplace, and beamed cathedral ceiling. Sliding glass doors connect the living room to the maturely landscaped backyard, creating a perfect space for covered al-fresco dining in a peaceful retreat. For culinary enthusiasts, the kitchen is a dream come true. Outfitted with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, a commercial-grade built-in wok, 5-burner gas stove, recessed lighting, and thoughtful details like a pot-filler above the stove and a copper hood, it also includes a built-in coffee bar. The kitchen and foyer’s natural fabric ceilings add a touch of luxury and tranquility. Adjacent is a formal, light-filled dining room, perfect for gatherings. The master suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub, beautifully designed walk-in shower, and a walk-in closet that is nothing short of spectacular. In total, the home offers three bedrooms and a home office that can easily convert to a fourth bedroom. The office closet has a wet bar, complete with sink, shelving and storage. Each bedroom is adorned with custom floor-to-ceiling windows and rich, embossed carpet, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. While this home offers the tranquility of a private retreat, it also boasts easy access to the 210 freeway and the scenic San Bernardino National Forest. Attached two-car garage is accessible from 33rd Street. This one-of-a-kind property is a must see!
