Dramatic Tudor Revival mansion in Fremont Place comes up for sale

"The brick and half-timbered residence, built in 1929, evokes a church with its dramatic front façade, which is no surprise considering Barker's other works. The architect, who was a partner of G. Lawrence Ott, also designed the Church of the Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills and St. Anthony Church in Long Beach, among others."

"The formal living room draws the eye from there, complete with decorative plaster ceilings, paneled walls, leaded windows and a fireplace with a hand-carved mantle. The main level also holds a formal dining room, an updated kitchen, a family room with built-ins, a brick-lined sun room and a breakfast nook with bow windows."

"In 6,942 square feet of interior, there are six bedrooms and five bathrooms, including a master suite with a lounge under a rounded ceiling. Outside, hedges and landscaping flank a long swimming pool and spa. A brick patio completes the scene."
