Wallace Neff designed this French Provincial Modern house in 1939 combining informal exterior details with a sophisticated interior featuring hardwood floors and generous mullioned windows. A dramatic elliptical entry hall opens from the street level to the wonderful master suite with fireplace, views and two handsome baths, one with steam shower, and also two studies. There are three additional bedrooms, one currently used as a sitting room, and a shared bath. A Neff trademark curved staircase leads down to the public rooms approached via another elliptical foyer. The spacious living room has a magnificent bay window with views to the back garden and pool, a corner fireplace and a charming library alcove. The formal dining room is elegant in scale and has a picture window with the same lovely view. The attractive gourmet kitchen has a center island, Carrara marble counters, imported Italian tile floors and gourmet appliances: DCS Range, Bosch dishwasher, Sub Zero refrigerator, and Viking wine storage. The comfortable family room extending from the kitchen has custom built-ins and patio and garden views. A guest powder bath and a laundry complete this main floor. Besides patio, pool and extensive gardens, there is a quaint tea house, a pool house with bath and a guest house with bath over the two car garage. Over two thirds of an acre with frontage on both Burleigh and San Remo, this property may have lot split potential.
