Trained at Cornell, Marston is celebrated for elegantly proportioned residences, meticulous site planning, and superb craftsmanship--hallmarks that helped define Southern California's early 20th-century domestic landscape.The estate's composition -- principal rooms oriented to garden views, thoughtfully arranged circulation, and finely scaled exterior massing -- exemplifies Marston's signature site-responsive planning and seamless integration of house and landscape. Character features include custom millwork and built-ins, original hardware, discreet staff quarters, and an enchanting rear-garden entertainment pavilion centered on a substantial fireplace -- all creating an ideal setting for refined indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. Impeccable period proportions, elegant detailing, and timeless curb presence offer a refined canvas for collectors and discerning buyers seeking architectural provenance and serene privacy.

    "Dog owners will be very pleased to live in this community. There are many pet lovers here. The only area of concern is there are wild animals living in the area; coyotes, bears, bobcats, skunk, opossum, rattlesnake and deer. Dogs and cats should never be left unmonitored in their yards, as they may be eaten or injured by coyotes at any time of the day."
