Property Recently Had Centennial Celebration with City Officials
Wildewood Estate, the First Historically Significant Residence in La Cañada Flintridge, designed by noted architect Ray J. Kieffer, has been listed for $6,650,000 by Kathy Seuylemezian, a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialist affiliated with the La Cañada Flintridge office of Coldwell Banker Realty. Built in 1926, the property hosted its Centennial Celebration with city officials on April 18. Believed to have been offered for sale only once in the past seven decades, the legacy property located at 4166 Woodleigh in La Cañada Flintridge, Calif., has five bedrooms, four bathrooms and one half bath.
“This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most architecturally significant and storied estates in La Cañada Flintridge,” said Seuylemezian. “Nestled among majestic heritage oak trees in the prestigious Flintridge enclave, Wildewood Estate is a 1926 Spanish Colonial masterpiece, offering both historical provenance and extraordinary Mills Act tax advantages. This is a legacy property of uncommon distinction.”
Over the course of 17 years, the current owners undertook an extensive restoration, carefully preserving original details while elevating the home for modern living. Specialized architects and skilled tradespeople were engaged to ensure period-appropriate restoration. Improvements include a comprehensive rebuild of the kitchen and all bathrooms, the addition of a front courtyard, an expanded backyard deck and the creation of a downstairs wine room. The former domestic help quarters above the three-car garage have been rebuilt and are currently utilized as a private home office with a kitchenette and bath.
Appreciated for its authentic Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, the two-story residence offers east- and west-facing patios and an inviting upstairs sitting porch. A dramatic coffered-ceiling entry and staircase highlighted by leaded-glass windows set the tone for interiors rich in original character, including a grand living room with open-beam ceilings and fireplace, formal dining room, breakfast room, chef’s kitchen with butler’s pantry and a guest powder room. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite features a fireplace, dressing room, Malibu tile bath and large closet, complemented by a secondary suite and two additional bedrooms. The grounds capture sweeping views of the San Gabriel Mountains and the historic environs of old Flintridge, while a drive-through driveway provides access from two heavily wooded lanes, enhancing both privacy and presence.
