Architecturally significant Monterey Revival residence known as the “Monterey Miniature,” thoughtfully designed in 1928 by noted architect Helen Wren for Beth and Elliot Lincoln. A rare and irreplaceable Claremont classic, rich in history and timeless design.
Ideally situated in the heart of the Claremont Village—affectionately known as the “City of Trees and PhDs”—this home enjoys a premier location between Los Angeles and Palm Springs. Just moments to Village boutiques, art galleries, fine dining, professional offices, and the world-renowned Claremont Colleges.
Set on a private corner lot, the estate features a welcoming front courtyard and a gated side yard with a separate entrance. The grounds include water-tolerant landscaping, a sparkling in-ground pool, and a detached two-car garage with pool house—offering exceptional privacy and charm.
The beautifully upgraded foyer introduces refined elegance and old-world character. The living room showcases exposed wood-beamed ceilings, Spanish-inspired detailing, and a warm fireplace. The main level also includes a den or office with pool views, a downstairs bedroom, and a full bath. The formal dining room features wood-beam ceilings and a built-in china hutch.
The kitchen blends function and character with a center island and dual sinks, stainless steel appliances, butcher block countertops, trash compactor, custom windows, built-in wood cabinetry, and Spanish-accented walls.
Upstairs offers a primary suite with fireplace and balcony access, an additional large bedroom, and a remodeled bath with Talavera-style tile.
Additional highlights include a 237 sq.ft basement ideal for wine cellular, storage or bonus use, exterior storm shutters, repiped plumbing, and thoughtful updates that respect the home’s architectural integrity.
This is not just a home—it is a statement. A one-of-a-kind opportunity to own one of Claremont’s most distinctive and beloved estates.some photos / rooms may be digitally altered or digitally staged.
