San Marino Real Estate

Set along one of the most prestigious corridors in San Marino, 1200 Virginia Road unfolds as a timeless estate where architectural heritage, scale, and setting converge into a rare offering of enduring significance. First time on the market, this exceptional residence is positioned on an expansive ~0.75-acre parcel along the coveted Virginia Road corridor, introduced by a gated entry and framed by majestic live oak trees that create a sense of arrival defined by privacy and natural beauty. Originally constructed in 1939, the home reflects the grace and symmetry of classic Colonial architecture an era defined by proportion, refinement, and enduring craftsmanship. Enhanced in 1948 by noted architect Ernest A. Bryant, the residence has evolved with a reverence for its origins, preserving its architectural integrity while offering modern livability. Neighboring the legendary Thornton Gardens, formerly the Katherine Emery Estate, this address is immersed in one of Southern California's most historically significant residential landscapes.

The grounds are equally compelling, featuring a large, flat yard ideal for recreation and entertaining, complemented by a private pool set within a tranquil garden setting. Enveloped by mature landscaping and estate-scale surroundings, the property offers exceptional privacy and usability an increasingly rare commodity in today's market, while still allowing for future enhancements if desired. Opportunities within this enclave remain exceedingly scarce, driven by the limited supply of large estate parcels, placement within one of California's most sought-after school districts, and a legacy of long-term ownership and generational wealth preservation. 1200 Virginia Road represents more than a residence; it is a heritage asset offering scale, provenance, and an irreplaceable setting within one of Southern California's most insulated luxury neighborhoods, appealing to discerning buyers seeking both immediate livability and enduring value.

A truly unique San Marino home, filled with character, art, and a wonderful sense of East-meets-West. This has been a much-loved home for many years, with gracious living spaces, hardwood floors, a fireplace, classic details, and a collection that makes the house especially interesting. Throughout the home, the owner's longtime collection of Eastern and Western art, antiques, furniture and decorative pieces gives every room its own personality — almost like walking through a small private museum. The floor plan is spacious and very practical. On the main level, a den with a closet can easily work as a bedroom, home office or library. There is also a generous living room, a family room overlooking the backyard, a formal dining area, and a large kitchen with plenty of room to work with. Upstairs are three nicely sized bedrooms, including the primary bedroom with its own bath. The backyard may be the most memorable part of the home. Mature trees and lush landscaping surround the pool, while a beautiful Japanese-style teahouse sits quietly across the water, its reflection becoming part of the garden view. The setting has the peaceful feeling of a traditional Japanese garden, where the landscape, water and architecture seem to borrow from one another. One of the best views is actually from the family room, looking directly out to the pool, garden and Japanese-style teahouse beyond. It is the kind of view you can enjoy every day — quiet, green and almost completely removed from the world outside. Located just north of Huntington Drive on a beautiful tree-lined street in the highly regarded San Marino Unified School District, this is not a cookie-cutter house. It is a home with personality, collections, stories, and a setting that is hard to duplicate.
