Description

On Padres Trail near Descanso Gardens in La Canada is a wonderful 1958 original post & beam mid century 3 bedroom Medallion Home designed by noted Architect William Duquette. The indoor outdoor pioneer of the time used large glass sliders opening onto decks & patios in the living room, family room, dining room, & master bedroom. The intelligent design uses big windows in well planned glass areas to welcome in natural light. The 18, 763 SF lot has beautiful canopied oak & pine trees surrounding the home to add a pleasant serenity. The use of different types of wood throughout add timeless textured layers. In the study the original desk is uniquely built into the cabinetry. In the master the bed is original and also built into the cabinetry. The tall & wide garage is newer built with the flexibility of parking 4 cars or partitioning half of it into several hundred square feet of additional living space. The black & white photos are original with a 1960 LA Times article featuring the home.
