Gated Georgian Estate is in Prestigious Neighborhood

Situated in La Canada-Flintridge’s most prestigious neighborhood, the custom-built five-bedroom, eight-bath gated estate at 777 Georgian Road was conceived and designed by owner Robert W. Mertz and executed by renowned local architect Jay Johnson.

This architectural masterpiece was inspired by Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Hyde Park, William Henry Harrison’s Indiana home, James Buchanan’s Wheatland Estate and the Tennessee Governor’s Mansion. Taking nearly a decade to complete, this extraordinary residence features the finest materials, exquisite craftsmanship and remarkable finishes throughout more than 8,700 square feet of living space. It’s located on 20,750 square feet of completely flat, usable land.

A meandering inlaid stone pathway leads through a lushly landscaped, tree-lined front yard to an exquisite, handcrafted, wrought iron bridge over the man-made koi pond, culminated at the Georgian-columned French Beaumanier limestone-floored covered front porch and grand entry door. Once inside, the attention to detail is simply astounding. The grandly proportioned rooms and grounds express a quiet elegance and provide the inspiration for unforgettable events, private gatherings and special memories.

There will be a twilight open house from 5 to 8 p.m. tonight. The house at 777 Georgian Road is offered at $5,900,000. It is listed with Rita Johnson and Phyllis Harb of Dickson Podley 790-1183.Preview Houselre-preview0713.jpg-BPhotoInfoG81SQVVM20060713j279e5ncCredit: Caption: (LA)SPACIOUS ESTATE ?
