Upon entering this magnificent Lakefront home that blends a modern style with vintage appeal, you’ll look out to glistening North Bay views from massive windows. Originally built in 1922 by James Gamble of Procter & Gamble, one of Lake Arrowhead’s visionaries, this North Shore estate spans a gently terraced half-acre with full-day sun and spectacular sunsets. Expanded, updated, and lovingly maintained over decades, this home marries timeless elegance with contemporary comforts.
The floor plan offers multiple indoor/outdoor areas, 5 bed-rooms including a spa-like primary suite and a separate guest cottage suite, four baths, a two-car garage and a single slip dock with a double-sized granite pier. The heart of the home is the spectacular two-story great room, where exposed beams and a floor-to-ceiling granite wood-burning fireplace create an ambiance of warmth yet grandeur. A long window seat invites you to lounge with a book, sip a glass of wine, or simply take in the ever-changing hues of the sparkling lake below.
The bright kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line Viking appliances. The double french doored dining area opens onto a sprawling entertaining deck, commercial-grade Viking grill, refrigerator, and bar—perfect for al fresco summer gatherings. Also on the main level is a versatile bedroom and bath which could be an office, den or study.
It looks out to a soothing recirculating stream water feature. Below a spacious family room, with warm wood paneling and cabinetry, window seating, a built-in bar, big-screen TV, french doors open to another expansive Trex deck built around a majestic 100-year-old incense cedar. Here you’ll find a new inlaid hot tub/spa, along with space for sunbathing or enjoying a competitive game of ping-pong.
A frameless glass railing ensures unobstructed views. Additional updates include dual-pane Andersen windows, a DaVinci composite slate roof, hardwood flooring, a whole-house generator, new HVAC and SONOS speaker systems, a beautiful 1k bottle wine cellar, and a private gym. Granite pathways lead from a mature rose garden and fruit trees to the private pier and dock below fully equipped with Bbq, refrigerator, seating.
