Welcome to this extraordinary 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom estate spanning 4,306 square feet on an 11,761 square foot lot — a rare hilltop offering with sweeping views over Friendly Hills Country Club and the San Gabriel Valley below, all framed by lush mature landscaping and true resort-style outdoor living.From the moment you arrive, the home announces itself with a beautifully manicured tiered front courtyard, a classic tile roof, and an ornate wrought iron entry gate that opens to a dramatic two-story foyer. Inside, a breathtaking hand-forged scrollwork staircase rises beneath a cascading crystal chandelier setting the tone for the craftsmanship and character found throughout.The chef’s kitchen is a true showpiece — expansive center island with rich granite countertops, custom glazed cabinetry, a professional-grade 8-burner range with griddle, built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine cooler, and a garden window overlooking the pool. A separate butler’s pantry with white shaker cabinetry and quartz counters adds serious functional depth for the entertainer. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a sunny breakfast room with direct access to the covered outdoor dining patio.Upstairs, the primary suite is nothing short of a private sanctuary — soaring cathedral beam ceilings, a brick fireplace, a generous walk-in closet, and its own private view balcony where city lights and rolling fairways stretch to the horizon. Additional bedrooms are bright and spacious, with the ground-floor room serving beautifully as a home office or guest suite with French door access to the rear grounds.Step outside and the property truly transforms. A covered pergola-shaded dining terrace overlooks a sparkling pool surrounded by a large sun deck with teak loungers and a fire pit seating area — all perched above the fairways of Friendly Hills Country Club with unobstructed panoramic views of the San Gabriel Valley. A secluded garden courtyard with a three-tier stone fountain adds a private, European-garden touch. Rose gardens, mature palms, and lush hedging complete the grounds.Additional highlights include an oversized 3-car garage with built-in cabinetry and workbench, a dedicated laundry/catering kitchen, and an upper-level view terrace accessible from the primary suite — ideal for morning coffee with a view that never gets old.
