This turn-of-the-century farmhouse in the desirable N. San Gabriel neighborhood was expanded and renovated by the current owner with meticulous detail and attention. Mature greenery and a Simon brick walkway lead to the covered porch and into the tiled foyer. The impressive “great room” features Douglas Fir two-piece crown molding, Rejuvenation period appropriate light fixtures, an authentic tile fireplace w/mantle backed by retro textured wallpaper, and an enclosed front porch w/a leaded glass design and delightful front yard view. A wide pocket door leads to the dining rm adorned by a coffered ceiling w/original gold floral lights, Rejuvenation chandelier, original plate rail, and architecture wood paneling. Another pocket door reveals a home office in the NW corner with a view of the yards. A generous hallway leads to a 3⁄4 bath featuring penny tiled flooring and a soapstone sink countertop on a customized basin stand. Adjacent is the newer “dream” kitchen with topnotch appliances, a striking custom wood vent, and a cozy breakfast area and eating counter. Adjoining the kitchen is a mudroom with side door access to the driveway and secured basement/cellar. Behind a frosted glass door is a generously sized pantry/laundry rm. A wide stairway leads to the private quarters. To the left of the landing is the 1st bedroom/convertible den and to the right is a renovated full bath with double sinks on marble counters and a shower over tub. Next to the bathroom is a 2nd floor laundry closet with a washer/dryer combo. The reimagined primary suite displays custom shutters and the luxurious bathroom has a lovely chandelier, built-in wardrobe, customized closets, dual sinks on quartz countertops, and a steam/sauna shower with dual shower-heads. The charming 3rd bedroom exhibits an adorable chandelier and custom designed drapery. Functioning as “the” family room, the 4th bedroom has a view of the covered porch. The quintessential upper porch w/remote-controlled shades, sealed hardwood floors, and a playful hammock, is perfect for a quiet retreat or afternoon nap. The 5th bedroom has a window seat with custom storage and multiple closets. A roomy attic is easily accessible by a pull down ladder in the hallway. The retreat-like backyard displays abundant space for entertainment and gatherings of any size. Under the wooden pergola and ceiling fan is a well-equipped outdoor kitchen of cement pearl countertops and a Simon brick laid dining area. A wide side yard w/a mature avocado tree is perfect for a dog run. The freestanding guest cottage has a split heating & A/C system, a large bathroom displaying a limestone shower with two shower-heads, and full kitchen presenting a limestone breakfast bar. French accordion doors access the cottage, along with an additional entry to the outdoor shower and saltwater pool with jacuzzi beside a stone fireplace with Simon bricks. An expansive grassy area is walled by tall privacy hedges and mature greenery. The soundproof, finished 2-car detached garage has an attic, electrical car charger, and side “drum” room featuring a ceiling fan light. The long driveway with a painted basketball court and vegetable garden is secured by an automatic gate. Noteworthy highlights throughout include original wood floors, crown moldings, recessed lighting, double hung, dual glazed Low-E UV windows, copper plumbing, 2 tankless water heaters, and Hardie fireproof shingles. With a serious appreciation for turn-of-the-century design and modern day conveniences, this craftsman farmhouse combines yesteryear charm and character with all the modern amenities to impress the most sophisticated buyers!
