Description

Romance Is In The Air! Gracefully set along Ojai's prestigious Foothill Rd, this iconic 1929 Tudor Revival Estate blends historic grandeur with refined modern living, thoughtfully restored to honor its original design. A designated Historic Landmark and downtown Ojai Icon, was commissioned by silent screen star Estelle Clarke and designed by architect Austin Pierpont. In the 1930s, Clarke and her husband, legendary composer Leo Robin, called it home, where Robin penned classics including ''Thanks for the Memory.'' Set on 1.17 acres with sweeping Chief Peak and Topa Topa views, the property features a 4BD/3.5BA main residence, multipurpose barn, and detached yoga studio—ideal for retreat-style living. * The property is part of the Mills Act, which results in reduced property taxes.
