“The Makers House is so-called because of Liddicoat & Goldhill’s commitment to hand-assembled materials and the highest levels of detailing,” says the listing agent. “For example, the various spaces on the upper floors are unified by a richly coloured and durable Rhodesian mahogany parquet floor reclaimed from Hove Fire Station in the 1970s.”

The upper area of the backyard is perfect for entertaining and taking in the San Gabriel Mountains situated right on your doorstep.

The master bedroom has a protected deck, as well as views into the yard and beyond, onto the San Gabriel Mountains.

The second bedroom has windows looking out into the verdant backyard.

Straghan converted the home's attic level into a primary suite that features lime plaster walls, Douglas fir flooring, and deep blue drapery fabric.

Douglas fir flooring, a built-in Douglas fir table and bench, and Douglas fir ceiling beams provide texture and warmth in the kitchen-and-dining area, which is outfitted with bright white cabinetry and Caesarstone counters.
