Located on a tree-lined street in the sought-after Mission District, a tastefully manicured yard and brick pathway welcome you to enter this stately colonial home. To the right of the foyer is a gracious, formal living room with a handsome marble-front fireplace, and an inviting view to the depths of this beautiful property. Through the double doors, a spacious family room draws you in with continued panel wainscoting, an expansive wall of built-in bookshelves, an entertainment center, and newer wood floors. Two sets of wall-to-wall French doors connect this impressive room seamlessly into the picturesque rear garden and black bottom, saltwater pool with relaxing waterfall. Adjacent to the family room is a light-filled, formal dining room accented by an exquisite chandelier, built-in buffet, and French doors that open onto a newly refinished wood deck, perfect for enjoying the quintessential experience of SoCal indoor/outdoor living. To the left of the foyer is a private guest bedroom showcasing original wood floors, crown molding, and panel wainscoting. A versatile laundry/craft room is centrally located and includes a renovated ¾ bathroom with floor to ceiling marble slab in the shower. The efficient and updated kitchen features newer sleek quartz countertops and ample storage cabinetry is the heart of the home. On the upper floor, occupying the entire south wing, is a large master suite with an ensuite ¾ bath plus vanity, and an extraordinary walk-in closet/dressing room, featuring custom shelves and an island of drawers. Along the hallway are entries to two additional bedrooms, a remodeled full bath with travertine flooring and detailed accent tiles; a large attic space conveniently accessed by a pull-down staircase; and multiple linen closets. A big bonus to this property is an ideal home office of 209 sq.ft. adjacent to the 2-car detached garage by the pool, fully equipped with built-ins, multiple work stations, a wall heat and A/C unit, and a charming Dutch door. Other highlights include a newer roof, newer custom interior/exterior paint, a home protection camera system, and dual heating and AC systems. The beauty of this idyllic home flows from front to back, top to bottom, and awaits for its new lucky owner to call it home.
