Overview
Opportunities of this caliber are increasingly rare in Sierra Madre. Set along one of the city’s most picturesque, tree-lined streets, this distinguished Victorian Farmhouse—part of the coveted “Jameson Legacies” collection—offers a level of craftsmanship, scale, and privacy that would be exceptionally difficult to replicate today. A lush, storybook front garden and sweeping wrap-around porch create an immediate sense of arrival and retreat—where established mature landscaping, a gracious façade, and a serene setting establish the tone before you even step inside. The curb appeal is simply unmatched. The thoughtfully designed floor plan flows effortlessly between formal and informal spaces. 9-foot ceilings, custom-milled moldings, wainscoting, handcrafted fireplace mantels, and gleaming hardwood floors set an elevated standard throughout. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream: Viking stove, double ovens, warming drawer, convection oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, wine chiller, and a generous walk-in pantry. Solid wood interior doors with Baldwin hardware and Casablanca ceiling fans complete the picture. The expansive primary suite is a true sanctuary—featuring a fireplace, sitting area, balcony access, and a spa-inspired bath. A classic laundry chute connects directly to the lower-level laundry room below. A private in-home elevator provides seamless, effortless access between all levels. Plus Outside, the grounds unfold as a true garden estate. Sixteen mature fruit trees of various varieties create a lush, ever-changing urban orchard that invites both relaxation and harvest throughout the seasons. Additional highlights include leased solar panels, a whole-house water softener, a brand-new upstairs A/C system (2025), dual HVAC, two laundry rooms, central vacuum system, Pella windows, and a desirable north-facing orientation that delivers balanced natural light throughout the day. With its generous proportions, legacy-caliber architecture, and an assemblage of features rarely found under one roof, this is a compelling alternative to new construction — offering land, maturity, privacy, and craftsmanship that simply cannot be replicated at today’s building costs. Located just moments from Sierra Madre’s beloved Old Town, local cafés, and the scenic foothill trails of the San Gabriel Mountains, this is more than a home — it is a truly rare and enduring legacy property in one of the San Gabriel Valley’s most sought-after communities.
