This beautifully maintained single story Colonial that boasts pride of ownership is located on a quiet, tree-lined street, and is on the market for the 1st time since 1974! Colorful snapdragons and rose trees welcome one to the front porch. The formal entry hall features elegant wallpaper, two guest closets, and access to the California basement. Gleaming hardwood floors set the tone upon entry and escort one towards the gracious living room complete with built-in bookshelves, crown molding, a large bay window overlooking the lovely front yard, plantation shutters, and a handsome brick fireplace. A step down from the living room is the versatile sunroom that showcases a gorgeous view of the outdoors and sparkling pool. With a ceiling fan/light and wide sliding doors, this delightful space creates the ideal setup for SoCal’s indoor/outdoor easy living. To the left of the sunroom is a classic dining room, decorated by an elegant chandelier and two built-in corner shelves with cabinets. This wallpapered dining room easily flows to the totally remodeled kitchen featuring newer stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, granite countertops, and a natural stone backsplash. A cozy breakfast nook located in the corner of the kitchen overlooks the expansive backyard. Off the entry hall in the south wing rests three bedrooms featuring polished brass door knobs. The first bedroom presents plantation shutters and a sizable mirrored closet. Continuing in the hallway is a spacious full bathroom with a shower over tub. The adorable second bedroom displays two closets framing the window and a pretty ceiling light. At the end of the hall gallery, the third bedroom has a ceiling fan/light and a custom bookshelf nook. This bedroom adjoins a ¾ bathroom, and laundry area which conveniently accesses the backyard. The circular patio around the pool is perfect for casual outdoor dining and lounging. Past the covered rest area by the pool is a 2 car garage, adjacent to a gardening shed lined with a customized organization system of pegboard walls, storage cabinets, and wooden workbench. Nearby is a good size, raised vegetable garden bordered by mature rosemary bushes. A charming freestanding “home office” (123 sq ft) of multiple windows and built-in shelves welcomes one to enter via its red door. Surrounded by a landscaped beauty of roses, fitted with sport-court lighting, and secured by an automatic gate, this multi-zoned backyard allows for various outdoor pastimes to be enjoyed by all ages.
