Imagine discovering a property so remarkably preserved that, over the course of more than a century, it has been held by just two families. This sprawling 18,000+ sqft. estate is that rare offering—a true “unicorn” in today’s market—where heritage, scale, and possibility converge. At its heart rests the original 1920s Spanish Ranch style residence (3 bed, 2 bath), introduced by a formal foyer and defined by enduring architectural character. Rich in authenticity and untouched by time, it presents a compelling canvas for a thoughtful restoration. Along the entry path, a century-old rose tree quietly stands—a living testament to the generations and stories rooted within the grounds. Beyond the main residence, a fully independent 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers exceptional versatility, complete with its own attached garage and private front and rear yards—ideal for extended living or refined income potential. The estate continues to unfold with a private pool and pool house, an expansive side yard, and a detached two-car garage with integrated workshop. A rare flow-through driveway extends from the front lawn to the rear alley, enhancing both function and scale in a way seldom found. More than a renovation opportunity, this is a chance to steward a piece of Temple City’s architectural past—reimagined for the future. Opportunities of this caliber are rarely seen and even more rarely offered.
