Description:
John L Severance Estate/John A McCone House, features over 13, 500sf of living space spread over 3 structures: The John A McCone House, by Eggers and Wilkman, 1957; the original staff quarters above the main 4-car garage, by Johnson, Kaufmann and Coate, cir 1921; and the 2BR/3BA pool house, conceived by the same architects; and later expanded. The 3 structures are thoughtfully sited on the gated 5.5ac estate and are connected by formal gardens, specimen Engelmann Oaks, lighted pathways, 50' pool and original aquatic park w/multiple streams, waterfalls and 'tidal pools' that meander through NE acres of the property. Designed by renowned landscape architect Paul Thiene and featured in the 1931 publication, California Gardens, the Severance Aquatic Park, has miraculously continued in existence for nearly 100 years. After philanthropist and Standard Oil magnate, John Severance, the estate passed to John McCone, a year before he was to Chair the US Atomic Energy Commission under Pres Dwight D Eisenhower and was later appointed head of the CIA under Pres John F Kennedy. Having previously employed Coate to update the original home, in 1957 McCone decided to build a new single-level Neoclassical main structure that possessed cutting edge design, security and engineering, yet showcased the same opulence and elegance as the original 1920's home. Grand drawing room w/15+' ceilings and intricately carved wood doorways and pediments, carved fireplace mantles, marble patios; and, borrowing from MCM design, oversized glass doorways and windows advancing natural light throughout the home and extending living spaces. One of the largest private estates in the area, surrounded by 20' privacy hedges and accessed by 2 hydraulic auto-gates that, for special security, lower and seat into the ground when closed, the property has been a true working estate. Cir. 1930's Lord and Burnham greenhouse and attached workshop and slat house cultivate orchids and other fauna; honey is produced and bottled from working beehives; harvesting from citrus and vegetable gardens; and a mix of bamboo and hardwoods allow for onsite carpentry in several workshops or one of the five detached garages. With an original address of 30 Oak Grove Ave, the property is one of the last large intact landmark estates. Possessing both the grandeur of the Roaring 20's and modern pioneering design by Eggers and Wilkman; and, surrounded by unparalleled landscaping and water features; a true legacy compound meant to be shared and passed for many generations.For more details: https://realtyww.info/homes_san-marino-d174193/for-sale_i71650313
