PRO PERT Y H I STO RY Many homes come with a great story but few come with an enchanting HISTORY such as this...

D e s i g n e d b y R e n o w n e d A r c h i t e c t s This stunning home in Pebble Beach was built in 1926 and designed by renowned architects, Sidney and Noble Newsom of Piedmont, California. The Newsoms were known for their elegant homes that resembled Spanish haciendas, English cottages and French chateaus. Their father, Samuel Newsom, designed some of Northern California’s most extravagant Queen Anne houses, including the Carson Mansion in Eureka.

Unlike the Victorian homes designed by their father (which have gone in and out of fashion) the 1920s Period Revival homes of the younger Newsoms have enjoyed steady demand as they look and feel more contemporary.

Newsom & Newsom homes function today much as they did when they were designed – as spacious, elegant family homes with flowing floor plans, exquisite craftsmanship and just enough quirkiness to amuse. By the mid-1920s, the Newsoms were designing homes for some of the wealthiest families in the Bay Area, including the Ghirardelli’s (chocolate) and the Hills (coffee).

“

‘Livable’ is how most Newsom & Newsom owners put it. They love the large rooms, broad hallways and staircases, French doors, and door-sized casement windows that flood rooms with light and often open into arcaded verandas.”

SF GATE MAGAZINE

F e a t u r e d i n C a l i f o r n i a A r t s & A r c h i t e c t u r e This magnificent home was featured in the June, 1930 Issue of California Arts & Architecture. This magazine is consider to be one of the finest publications to emerge from California in the 1920’s. The following excerpts are from the article…

“As must be the case with all Pebble beach homes, the main rooms of the residence are planned to command the famous sweep of bay and ocean. But it is unusual to find the view from the living room confined to one great arched window – a living, ever-changing picture set in the wall, the predominating motif in the room.”

PRO PERT Y H I STO RY “The living room is nobly proportioned with lofty timbered ceiling, tiled floor, picturesque stairways and alcoves. A fine chandelier has the desirable scale and style for such a room; which has none of the cold and formal atmosphere sometimes associated with work of such definite Spanish character.”

“At the upper corner of the patio is the garage and servants’ apartments, which with the ‘flying buttress’ stairway and projecting balcony contribute an almost romantic quality to this delightfully informal garden.”

“Very pleasing is the effect of the decidedly ornamental furniture against the uneven white texture of stuccoed wall, with the dull stained woodwork and lustrous, polished tile floor reflecting light and dark features like a warm, frozen pool.”

“The visitor approaching the house finds a door opening into a long, glazed loggia which forms one side of the patio garden; or, if intimate, he/she can open an airy iron gate and wander down by fountains and flowers, directly into the heart of the home.”

“

California Arts & Architecture was a beautifully mounted publication that came about from the combination of three older publications – Pacific Coast Architect; California Homeowner and California Southland. At 35 cents per copy or $3.00 a year, California Arts & Architecture was a very high-end publication catering to the “well-to-do.” With such impressive names in the field of arts and architecture on its staff and advisory board as Gordon B. Kaufmann, Reginald Johnson, Mark Daniels, H. Roy Kelley and David C. Allison, California Arts & Architecture was guaranteed to be an elegant high-class production, which it always was. Each issue is a wonderful look at what was then the latest in California architecture and allied arts such as painting, sculpture, furniture design and interior decoration, photography, music, landscape architecture, theater and motion pictures. Even the advertisements were tasteful and classy. Unlike so many other high-end publications, California Arts & Architecture managed to struggle its way through the Depression by being one cut above. If you can ever get your hands on any issues -do! They are very rare, but worth the trouble.”
