Description

Prominently located on one of Monte Vista’s premier streets, this architecturally significant Spanish Revival estate is a masterful blend of timeless elegance and modern luxury. Designed by renowned architect Robert B. Kelly, the historic Dr. J. L. Felder House is gracefully nestled beneath the canopy of heritage oak trees on nearly half an acre in the prestigious Monte Vista Historic District.
Spanning over 6,000 square feet, the main residence showcases exquisite period craftsmanship—including original oak hardwood floors, plaster walls, and intricately hand-carved wood doors—alongside thoughtful modern updates that enhance livability and comfort. The grand formal living room with its ornate fireplace sets an elegant tone, while the stately dining room and handsome study with fireplace offer refined spaces for entertaining or quiet retreat. A spacious family room with a full bar and double French doors opens seamlessly to the lush backyard and shimmering pool, creating an effortless flow for indoor-outdoor gatherings.
The charming kitchen features soapstone countertops, Subzero appliances, and an adjacent light-filled breakfast room that overlooks the gardens. Six bedrooms and seven baths provide versatility for a range of lifestyles and multigenerational living, including an en-suite bedroom on the main level and two additional rooms that may serve as a gym, playroom, or game room. The expansive primary suite is a private sanctuary, complete with a fireplace, elegantly updated bath, and a walk-in dressing room closet.
Completing the estate is an 800-square-foot, two-bedroom carriage house perched above a three-car garage—ideal for guests, extended family, or studio space. Outdoors, a sparkling pool is framed by lush, landscaped gardens and a breezeway lined with Spanish columns, evoking the romance and grace of a bygone era.
Offering architectural provenance, refined contemporary comfort, and rare versatility, this extraordinary Spanish Revival estate stands as one of Monte Vista’s most distinguished historic treasures.
