Property Description
//Walter H Seavey House by David A Ogilvie AIA, 1927//This fully renovated English Revival home was originally built for the family of investment banker Walter H Seavey & their three live-in employees. Designed by David A Ogilvie, who spent 5 years as an apprentice for Reginald Johnson before establishing his own office, & built by legendary Master Builder Peter Hall, the property was featured in the Jan 1928th ed. of Architectural Digest. Located in the prestigious Estates area in the hills of San Marino, the property was constructed in an era known for unmatched craftsmanship & ‘old word’ sourced materials, much of which are still exhibited today. Original: leaded glass windows w/pull-down screens, butler’s pantry & 692sf lower-level prohibition bar were maintained. Complementing these elements, the house was renovated to allow for luxurious, modern living & flow. In addition to systems, BD’s & BA’s, the star of this endeavor is the impressive 25’x30′ Great Room with 20′ ceilings & destressed, antique French oak flooring. Now the heart of the house, the incorporated kitchen w/large island & Subzero & Wolf appliances flows seamlessly into informal dining, work desk & seating/TV area w/surround sound.//With the vision of a master architect, Ogilvie sited the living space to allow for public & private outdoor areas. From front circular driveway, the public front courtyard welcomes w/brick walkway leading to front door. Adjacent, a more casual seating area is harmonized w/the sound of running water from contemporary raised rectangular Koi Pond. For more private affairs, behin
