3350 Lombardy

Welcome to a timeless retreat in the heart of Chapman Woods, where architectural pedigree meets lush California living. Designed by renowned architect Theodore Pletsch, this exceptional property awaits the fortunate new buyer's personal touches. Sited on over an acre on a flat corner lot, the home is a single level estate, with the exception of one bedroom with its own stairway and half bath, tucked away privately above the rest of the house. Built in 1952 by Altadena-based Pletsch, who was known for his sensitive indoor-outdoor designs, this residence is no exception. The home unfolds over 1.04 flat acre of celebration-worthy grounds. The main residence offers 6 bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths and the breezeway leads to an expansive 3-car garage. Inside, the layout flows with modernist intent, and there are serene views of the grounds at every turn, seamlessly blending interior comfort with the beautiful outdoor spaces. There are 3 fireplaces in the main house, a spacious family room, sunroom and the 6th bedroom is currently being used as a spacious laundry room. Outdoors, the sprawling corner lot is a sanctuary of its own-with a sparkling pool, two tranquil koi ponds, and even visiting ducks that return seasonally. In addition to the 3-car garage, there are brick and concrete driveways accessible from the front or side of the property. The park-like backyard feels like a resort. Host unforgettable celebrations under the stars in the built-in barbecue/ bar area or say 'I do' in a garden that feels lifted from a dream. The pool/ guest house adds versatility and is perfect for guests, creative studio use, or multi-generational living. It features a living room with built-in bookshelves and fireplace, its own entry, plus French doors that open to the pool and grounds, full kitchen, a large bedroom, generous closets and a 3/4 bathroom. 3350 Lombardy is truly a home for a lifetime, surrounded by other substantial and estate homes in this especially private pocket of esteemed Chapman Woods, yet just minutes from dining, shopping and schools. A home of rare provenance and possibility- where light, legacy and lifestyle come together.
