Aaron Kirman Brings Opulent English Tudor Estate in Bradbury Estates to Market

When Chateau Group USA set out to develop this opulent English Tudor estate on a secluded 2.45-acre parcel in guard-gated Bradbury Estates, the vision was to create a true trophy proper with the serenity of a tranquil vacation retreat— all while accentuating the dramatic views of the San Gabriel Mountains.

A massive two-story home soon emerged, complete with upscale finishes and period accents throughout. Think polished marble, artisan carpentry and woodwork, and a neutral color palette sporting metallic and wood accents side-by-side with gothic arches, cathedral ceilings, and fleur-de-lis and Celtic cross motifs.

“This home is flawless from top to bottom,” says Aaron Kirman of Aaroe Estates, who is listing the residence for $18.890 million.

“Every attention to detail has been taken, resulting in one of the most incredible estates in this prestigious location.”

Situated at 18 Dovetail Lane—in the San Gabriel Valley, within a zip code once ranked by Forbes as one of the most expensive in America—the gated home offers more than 14,000 square feet of living space in the main home and almost 2,500 square feet in the guest house.

Highlights of the Robert Tong-designed abode include 10 bedrooms (most notably a master suite boasting a large seating area, huge walk-in closets and a circular bathroom); 10 full baths (along with three additional half-baths); a library sporting a gilded and coffered ceiling; a two-story living room with a spiral staircase circling a spectacular dome-mounted chandelier; a gourmet kitchen with a spacious dining area and butler’s pantry; an entertainment room with a full walk-in bar; a gym; and a home theater.

Outdoor amenities take full advantage of the mountain vistas. Among them: a seating loggia with fireplace; an infinity-edge pool with additional seating; an outdoor kitchen; a lighted sports court; and English garden-inspired landscaping including a labyrinth and a collection of lush avocado trees. A duo of two-car garages round out the property’s luxe offerings.

All this makes for truly gracious living in an affluent locale: the ideal Southern California lifestyle.
