Highlights include a living room that has a coffered ceiling, an ornamental fireplace and arched doors opening out to a terrace offering picturesque views of the San Gabriel Mountains, as well as a handsome wood-paneled library.
Rounding it all out are the lushly landscaped grounds, which are showcased by a hand-dug swimming pool and meandering pathways, along with numerous spots perfectly suited to alfresco lounging and entertaining. The residence is also covered by the Mills Act, which offers significant property tax savings in exchange for preserving the historic appearance.A Penthouse on Taylor Swift’s Former Block in N.Y.C.
