Property Description 

The huge Live Oak trees on this property could tell much longer history of the area but the original part of the home (the part that is two stories) was built in 1885 by Judge Poge and remained in his estate for 100 years.  The fireplace mantle in living room is hand carved & painted and although not part of the original house, dates back to 1887.  A spring fed stream runs through the property and is the beginning of the San Gabriel River. 

The home's downstairs is made up of master suite, guest suite, office, living room, dining room, kitchen, walk in pantry, breakfast room, utility room.  Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and large balcony.  Beaded ceilings are featured in the living room, guest bedroom, kitchen, breakfast room and upstairs.  Flooring goes from wood in the foyer and living room to laminate in the guest room, kitchen, dining room & pantry.  Then carpet in the master bedroom, upstairs and office.  Tile for the breakfast room and master bath.

 The kitchen has Silestone counters, cabinets with slide out drawers plus a lazy susan in the corner and an under mount sink with new garbage disposal.  Appliances convey, including gas range, LG refrigerator with bottom drawer freezer, in-door water & ice, dishwasher and Kinetico water softener (potassium).  In the dining room there is a built-in china cabinet and buffet.

Energy efficiency is up to date with two water heaters, 2 zones of air conditioning, 12 ceiling fans.  A rain water collection system with 450 gallon cistern (wood with metal roof) reduces the water required from the well (new pump installed in 2009).  Within the last couple of years, the roof has been checked, plumbing & electrical updated, foundation leveled and the 2 chimneys have been reworked.

Out door areas include a deck and stone patio.  Iron fencing surrounds the entire yard and immaculate landscape flowers, shrubs & trees.
