Property Description

Hedged and gated, this updated 1930s Spanish home embodies California living. Awash in bougainvillea, enter through the courtyard and into the foyer, anchored by a stunning curved staircase. With plenty of original architectural details, the sunken living room features high, beamed ceilings, a tile fireplace, and a large leaded window, allowing for streams of soft, dappled light. A formal dining room leads into the airy, updated gourmet chef's kitchen, complete with a breakfast area and workspace, opening seamlessly to the family room with French doors to the backyard. An ensuite paneled bedroom and powder room round out the first floor. Upstairs, a light-filled landing leads to the oversized primary suite, featuring two walk-in closets, a renovated bathroom with double vanities, and a covered balcony. Three additional bedrooms, two baths, ample closet space, and a laundry area create the perfect floor plan. Outside, enjoy the lush, grassy backyard with fruit trees, a sparkling pool, and a bonus space attached to the two car garage. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street, this home is within easy reach of some of the city's best shops, restaurants, museums, and parks.
