Stephen B. Barnes had the distinct honor of being licensed as the first Structural Engineer for the State of California. In 1935 he chose to build his home on prestigious Toluca Estates Dr. in Toluca Lake. Today his study remains virtually intact, with original blueprints in the cedar closet, along with his original pencil sharpener! At one time Arthur Ashe used to play on the tennis court in the yard! Today the lushly landscaped grounds include a sports court, salt water pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, fireplace, and large patio area. Just off of the pool is a Cabana/Pool room with bath. (Could be a sunny office or a maid’s room)
