412 N Mission Drive, San Gabriel, CA 91775

Property Description

This wonderful 1928 Spanish Colonial Revival is a true architectural gem in one of North San Gabriel's most coveted neighborhoods. Reminiscent of California's historic missions and Spanish haciendas, the home features a rounded entry tower with an arched wood front door and a balcony. Its stucco exterior and red clay tile roof exemplify the Spanish Colonial Revival style that flourished throughout Los Angeles in the 1920s and 1930s. A private, walled front courtyard with an outdoor fireplace creates a welcoming approach and an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. French doors from both the living and dining rooms open to the courtyard, connecting the main living spaces to this special feature of the home. The spacious living room features a wood-beamed coffered ceiling, a stunning fireplace, and a large north-facing picture window. The generous dining room showcases a coffered ceiling with decorative painted panels and a west-facing picture window, and leads to the bright, sunny kitchen with a breakfast nook. A separate laundry room provides generous storage and a dedicated pet station. The large downstairs bedroom, with an en suite bathroom connecting to the laundry room, could easily serve as a den. Throughout the home, arched doorways, decorative woodwork, high ceilings, and a pointed-arch telephone niche reflect its period character. The entry hall features Spanish-style tile flooring in an interlocking geometric pattern. A tiled staircase with rounded tread edges, warm-toned tile risers, and a decorative iron railing leads upstairs to a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and two additional bedrooms that share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. An attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience. Ideally located in a sought-after North San Gabriel neighborhood just blocks from San Marino, 412 N Mission Drive offers convenient access to the historic Mission District and Mission Playhouse, Blossom Market Hall, The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, and local shopping and dining. With timeless character, thoughtful improvements, and exceptional outdoor living, this lovingly maintained special home offers a rare opportunity to own an architectural treasure.
