A Once in a lifetime find in the wonderful Ganesha Hills community!  A dramatic panoramic view, Spanish Revival home w/the finest original touches from 1932.  Designed and built by architect/developer Wally Caldwell for Mr. and Mrs. George Strong.  The Strong's were prominent & wealthy flour mill owners from Minnesota, who sold their business to Gold Medal Flour & retired to sunny southern California.  They had the means to commission the finest build in the day, with materials that last a lifetime or two!  This home has repeatedly been solicited to join the historic home register.  It has remained intact & caringly preserved by only 3 families over the last 93 years.  A 4 bedroom & office loft, 4.5 baths estate!  Excellent curb appeal w/a gorgeous staircase approach to the front entry.  Practice your short game with a putting green and views in the elevated front yard.  There are 3 levels that consist of a ground floor attached 2 car garage and appx 280 sf of basement space (not in the square footage).  Basement wine cellar.  Take the maids stairs or the hydro-electric elevator that was added in 1937 to the mid-level entry main floor.  The elevator calls to all 3 levels.  The main level is glorious in design & finishes.  An oversized front opens to a tiled foyer with a beamed ceiling and a grand staircase w/wrought iron balusters.  To the left is the spacious living room with a built-in curio/bookcase, original wall sconces, a breathtaking fireplace, & multiple French doors that exit to the back yard pool (added in the mid 1950's) and covered patio.  A separate family room again has French doors to the back yard paradise.  There is adjacent butler's pantry w/a stainless steel sink, tiled countertops, and abundant cabinetry.  The kitchen is splendid with views to the back yard, walk-in pantry, and a vented gas range.  The formal dining room or breakfast room provide multiple choices for family meals.
