Property Description
Designed by renowned architect Carleton M. Winslow and completed in 1926, the H. Stanley Bent House is a striking example of Spanish Revival architecture. Originally part of a larger estate, the property was reconfigured in the 1970s to its current 1.89-acre lot. H. Stanley Bent, a construction magnate specializing in dams and bridges, is believed to have sourced concrete from the nearby Devil's Gate Dam project for the home's construction. Built with reinforced poured concrete, the estate was designed for exceptional durability and longevity.A meticulous four-year renovation by the current owners preserved the home's historic character while incorporating modern luxuries. The front and side elevations remain largely untouched, while the interior has been reimagined for contemporary living. A dramatic groin-vaulted entry arcade leads to a koi pond with a circular island seating area and fire pit, set against a striking seven-foot water wall.The main residence features six-bedroom suites and seven bathrooms. The upper level includes four-bedroom suites and a spacious family room, while the main level offers two additional suites, including a private in-law wing with its own sitting area. Thoughtfully designed main and secondary staircases enhance flow and accessibility, with multiple gathering spaces perfect for both relaxation and entertaining.A separate two-story pool and guest house enhances the estate's appeal, featuring a bedroom suite, two additional bathrooms, a kitchenette, and an entertainment area with direct pool access. Below, a luxurious subterranean level offers a screening room, temperature-controlled glass wine wall, refreshments lounge, and sauna. Outdoors, a resort-style pool and spa are surrounded by covered pavilions, outdoor kitchens, and expansive terraces designed for year-round enjoyment. A four-car garage provides ample storage, while the fully gated grounds feature controlled access, leading to a circular motor court that enhances privacy and security.Blending the grandeur of the Roaring Twenties with contemporary sophistication, the H. Stanley Bent House remains a masterpiece of architectural excellence and refined living.
