This home has been described as,
The genius of Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene's California Bungalow style was beautifully executed in this 1906 historical treasure. Perched on the lip of the Arroyo, there is a sense of oneness with nature. The Japanese influenced twenty-room home features a spacious floor plan with rooms avoiding strict definition. The integration of interior and exterior spaces including a rare central courtyard and large porches with overhanging eaves perfectly addresses the climate and California lifestyle. Timeless and contemporary, the home is a remarkable work of craftsmanship and design incorporating natural and hand-worked materials including rich woods, handcrafted tiles, stained-glass, boulders and clinker bricks. There are spectacular Rose Bowl, Arroyo and mountain views. Additional features include over 2000 sq. ft. of covered porches, a guesthouse of approximately 500 sq. ft. and a lovely pool. A detailed biography of the home is available.
