4201 VIA PADOVA, Claremont, CA 91711

One of the true jewels of Padua Hills, the original 1938 estate was completely re-built in 2000 by renowned architect Fred McDowell, with major enhancements in 2020 by luxury design/build firm EPIC Design. This property is among North Claremont’s most exceptional offerings. Capturing unobstructed views of the Claremont Wilderness Preserve, Johnson’s Pasture, the San Gabriel Mountains, and distant city lights, it offers a lifestyle defined by thoughtful design and stunning surroundings. The living room is a dramatic setting, with expansive windows filling the space with natural light and framing sweeping vistas. Post-and-beam inspired design is elevated by reclaimed pine beams from the former Anheuser-Busch factory in Los Angeles. With soaring ceilings, the living room accommodates both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. The kitchen is both a culinary showcase and architectural statement, outfitted with premium appliances including a Wolf oven and range, additional Wolf oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. Marble counters and a designer backsplash add elegance, while the expansive island doubles as centerpiece and breakfast counter. A sunny breakfast nook overlooks the front yard, and the adjoining family room with custom built-ins offers a warm everyday space. The residence spans five bedrooms and four and a half baths. Two upstairs bedrooms share a west-facing balcony with incredible views, while the downstairs bedrooms each enjoy en suite baths. A detached guest suite adds versatility, ideal for extended family, guests, or a home office. The main-floor primary suite is a luxe retreat with sliding doors framing incredible views. Its spa-inspired bath features dual sinks, heated floors, soaking tub with picture window, and walk-in steam shower, plus a boutique-style closet with mechanical carousel. Outdoors, over half an acre makes it one of the largest hillside lots. The dining pavilion has a soaring ceiling with recessed lighting and heaters, while a nearby sitting area with stone fireplace is perfect for cool evenings. A large deck extends from the primary suite, adjacent to the resort-style glass-fenced pool and spa, with a path to a terraced area and lemon orchard. Beyond the pool, a flat lawn is surrounded by mature landscaping and provides versatility for play, gardening, or entertaining. This estate combines modern architecture, luxurious appointments, and a natural backdrop—an offering without equal in Claremont.
