Featured in the “Old Adobe” Painting within the Prestigious White House Collection of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt
La Casa de Carrion, a historic adobe home built in 1868 by Saturnino Carrion, designated a California Historic Landmark on Dec. 14, 1945, and restored in 1951 by Paul E. Traweek, has been listed for $1,988,000 by Pat Cochran, an agent affiliated with the Pasadena office of Coldwell Banker Realty. In the early 1930s, the property caught the eye of renowned watercolor artist Milford Zornes, who captured its essence in his painting titled "Old Adobe." This piece garnered acclaim when displayed in an exhibit in Washington, D.C., capturing the attention of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, who selected it for the prestigious White House collection. Located at 919 Puddingstone Dr. in La Verne, Calif., the nearly 2284-square-foot residence has two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
“La Casa de Carrion isn't just a house; it's a sanctuary where history, charm, and tranquility converge—a place to create, celebrate and live life to its fullest,” said Cochran. “Located just minutes from the University of La Verne, Puddingstone Lake and the vibrant Old Town La Verne, this property offers easy access to myriad special events and a wealth of dining and entertainment options.”
A fusion of timeless historical elements and modern convenience, the home showcases windows and doors dating back to the original restoration, high ceilings with the original beams, warm honey-brown wood floors and 22-inch-thick adobe walls that provide natural cooling even during the peak of summer. Perfect for any culinary enthusiast, the state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen features marble countertops, a dedicated coffee station, dual sinks, ovens, microwaves and a spacious pantry. Just outside of the kitchen, there is a vegetable garden and tranquil sitting areas. Nestled on over two acres of lush, prime land, the sprawling outdoor space presents endless possibilities.
