Property Description
CHARMING, MID-CENTURY WITH A TOUCH OF ART DECO.
Lush greenery and mature trees envelope this charming mid-century cottage located in
a prime area of the highly sought-after city of Sierra Madre. Freshly painted and
polished, it presents a picture of comfort and livability from the moment you enter. This
home was built in 1957 by a colorful inventor and holder of many patents (primarily in
the auto industry), Benjamin Schmidt, whose collaborators included the Gillette family
in the 1920’s. Art deco enhancements throughout the home include light fixtures, wall
and ceiling moldings as well as the cover plates for the light switches and a transom
window in the den (which was originally built as a movie room!). A cozy fireplace
anchors the living room and hardwood floors grace the majority of the home. This is a
light-filled home with ample windows to view the stately San Gabriel Mountains to the
north. The rear yard offers many areas for outdoor dining, entertainment and
recreation. There are two prolific Fuerte avocado trees which provide the basis for the
best tasting guacamole and will make you the envy (and most popular!) of the
neighborhood! The current seller is only the second owner of this lovingly cared for
haven. This is your opportunity to become its next caretaker!
