Welcome to the Crown Jewel of Lemon Heights! Tucked behind gates and unapologetically perched atop North Tustin’s most coveted ridge, this 1930s Mediterranean Revival estate isn’t just rich in history—it’s dripping in it. Set on two landscaped parcels totaling 2.4 acres, this iconic residence is as timeless as it is commanding. The setting? Next level. Unobstructed views sweep from Catalina to Palos Verdes, then pivot to reveal pastoral hills and snow-capped mountains. And while most hilltop properties trade flat land for the skyline, this one breaks the rules—serving up lush, expansive lawns and cinematic vistas. The estate has been under the careful eye of a single family for nearly 30 years, and it shows. Every inch of the 6,500-square-foot main house whispers craftsmanship: soaring ceilings, hand crafted stucco walls, antique walnut woodwork, and European-carved stone mantels that practically demand candlelight and jazz. But this isn’t just a home. It’s a compound. Think guest house, carriage house, separate multiple garages, rec center, and a 1,000+ sq ft outdoor veranda made for high-end soirées and impromptu sunsets. Around back? A circular motor court, central fountain, and gardens made for wandering barefoot with coffee in hand. And just when you think it couldn’t get more romantic—cue the infinity-edge pool and spa, perfectly poised for golden hour over Catalina and glittering city lights by night. But the final twist? A one-acre, undeveloped California-style garden tucked into the lower lot—ripe for a private vineyard, sculpture garden, or whatever dreamy vision you bring to the table. Framing it all: a canopy of over 90 trees standing 50 feet tall or more, with dozens more forming a lush, whisper-quiet buffer from the world. Historic. Iconic. Irreplaceable. You don’t find estates like this—you inherit them.
