This impeccably preserved Spanish Colonial Revival estate was designed by renowned architect George Washington Smith and built by Ojai benefactor Edward Drummond Libbey as Spec House ''A'' for his new subdivision called the Arbolata.

The second story is a master suite with private viewing deck, and a sumptuous spa quality master bath featuring RTK decorative tiles. Guest bedrooms enjoy a private wing on the main level. Steve Handelman light fixtures are featured throughout the home. Outside, pathways lead to a fruit orchard, raised beds, and the handsome pool with RTK tile trim within a beautiful stone wall. Towering oaks and red bark eucalyptus trees shade this exceptional legacy property.
