Description
Romance Is In The Air! Gracefully situated along Ojai's prestigious Foothill Road, this fairytale treasure embodies a rare fusion of historic grandeur and refined modern living, the result of a meticulous restoration that honors its original 1929 Tudor Revival design. Designated a Historic Landmark, this 1929 architectural jewel was commissioned by silent screen star Estelle Clarke and designed by esteemed architect Austin Pierpont. During the 1930s, Clarke and her husband, legendary composer Leo Robin, called the estate home. It was here that Robin penned timeless classics, including Bob Hope's signature song, Thanks for the Memory. Fully restored with an emphasis on preserving the integrity of its original Tudor Revival design, the estate harmoniously blends vintage elegance with modern comfort. The 1.17-acre grounds with epic views encompass a 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath main residence, an enchanting barn and a detached yoga studio, offering versatility and privacy. Inside the main residence, architectural details abound: an oversized living room with soaring barrel ceilings, Venetian plaster walls, exquisite original oak and mahogany parquet flooring, and stunning leaded and stained-glass windows that bathe the interiors in natural light.The outdoor setting is equally enchanting. Lush gardens, a serene pool and spa, a pergola-shaded glass pool house, an interior courtyard, and an expansive terrace provide an idyllic backdrop for entertaining set against the breathtaking panorama of Chief Peak and the Topa Topa Mountains. Ideally located in the heart of the Ojai Valley, this iconic estate offers effortless access to scenic hiking trails, renowned farmers' markets, downtown Ojai's dining, boutiques, wine tasting rooms, and the world-class Ojai Valley Inn. A rare opportunity to own a cherished piece of Ojai's architectural and cultural history!*The property is part of the Mills Act which results in reduced property taxes.*
