Built in 1927, this updated Spanish home welcomes one with an island of irises and roses, a graceful elm, and a brick walkway leading to a striking front door. Hardwood floors and textured walls line the distinguished foyer presenting a stained glass alcove between arched closets. The magnificent living room flaunts a Cathedral ceiling of wood beams, a prominent hanging wrought iron light fixture, and a tiled fireplace with an elegant mantle. A large picture window faces the front yard while another, centered by sliding doors, provides scenic backyard views and accesses a covered veranda. Down the hall is the bright “great room” with wall-length windows and double sliding doors to a veranda with built-in speakers and light sconces, achieving SoCal’s indoor/outdoor living. The gourmet kitchen has a long buffet, Corian counters, cherry wood cabinets, top of the line appliances, pendant lights, custom checkerboard flooring, a pleasant breakfast nook, and large walk-in pantry. Past the foyer and bi-fold doors lies an office/den or guest room with built-in shelves and access to the basement, kitchen, and a full bathroom. A graceful stairway with a wrought iron railing and artful hanging light fixture leads to a landing with gracious windows. The primary bedroom on the right has a wrap-around balcony and an alcove with a charming chandelier between 2 closets. An ensuite bathroom with double sinks and a glass block shower wall is beside a large walk-in closet. To the left of the landing and past a pocket door lies a quiet study. Curving down the hall are linen closets, a laundry “room”, and a full bathroom with double sinks and a shower over tub. 2 spacious bedrooms feature mirrored wardrobes, ceiling fan lights, and windows with yard views. The enchanting backyard is complete with a BBQ station, saltwater pool & spa beside a picturesque privacy wall, lovely fountain, concrete fire pit table, slate floors, and stately lampposts. This splendid backyard leads to a spacious 2-car finished garage with a split A/C unit and mirrored wall ideal for a gym/dance studio. Beside the garage is a workshop with storage cabinets and a workbench. A broad driveway allows ample recreational space, while nearby is a relaxing wisteria-covered gazebo. Highlights throughout are authentic light fixtures & switch panels, tongue & groove wooden doors, solar panels, a tankless water heater, central alarm, and A/C systems. This spectacular Spanish is bound to delight its new owners!
