Description

Some homes offer more than space and comfort, they embody a sense of history, artistry and enduring craftsmanship. Welcome to 130 Champion Place, a remarkable 1929 residence set along storied Artists' Alley, an intimate and quietly celebrated enclave known for its rich cultural legacy. Originally built by architect Scott Quintin as a Florentine-inspired villa for sculptor Eli Harvey, it reflects a refined balance of architectural character and livability. A gracious floor plan featuring four spacious bedrooms and three and one-half baths unfolds with a grand living room centered around a fireplace, a formal dining room and an eat-in kitchen with adjacent laundry closet. Just beyond, the expansive family room, once Harvey's art studio, stands as its most distinctive space, filled with volume, natural light and an unmistakable connection to the past. Throughout, beautifully preserved period details lend a richness and authenticity that is increasingly rare. Original lathe and plaster walls and arches provide substance and quiet sophistication, complemented by refinished hardwood floors and solid paneled doors. A restored magnesite entry leads to a graceful staircase and landing that serve as focal points for the public spaces. Multi-pane wood windows invite soft natural light, while built-in cabinetry and telephone nook bring function and timeless appeal. Wrought-iron railings and substantial moldings - expressed through baseboards, door surrounds and architectural transitions - underscore the Italian Revival heritage and caliber of construction. These classic elements are thoughtfully paired with modern upgrades, including central air and a newer 200 AMP electrical panel. The grounds, complete with legacy citrus and flowering plantings, form a private, gated retreat. Mature landscaping surrounds a pond and fountain adorned with one of Harvey's sculptures, creating a serene setting. A swimming pool, wine cellar and detached two-car garage further enhance the outdoor environment, and an adjacent guest house with three-quarter bath provides flexibility for visitors, rental income or a separate workspace. Ideally situated along the borders of San Marino and San Gabriel, this historic property enjoys a setting that is both tucked away and connected. Offered for only the second time since it was built, here is a rare opportunity to own a home where architectural integrity, artistic provenance and modern livability come together in a truly exceptional way.
