Decorated by colorful flowers and a slate-paved walkway leading to the courtly front porch, this delightful home in the desired San Marino School District presents a blend of charm and grace. Gleaming newer wood floors line the entry highlighted by dentil molding and leads into the formal dining room accented by an elegant chandelier, wainscoting with chair rail, and special coved ceiling treatment with crown molding. The soft curves of the walls and Mediterranean flair continue to compliment the grand living room on the right featuring a bellowed ceiling with crown molding, Batchelder-like fireplace with medieval designs, and a picturesque arched window overlooking the pleasant front yard. To the left of the formal dining room reveals the sunny kitchen with wood cabinetry and an arched entryway leading to the spacious breakfast room centered by a beautiful, arched window flanked by two lovely glass cabinets. Another window with a side yard view completes this inviting casual dining area. The kitchen also connects to the mud room housing a laundry area, access to a California basement, large pantry enclosed by frosted-glass doors, and a side door leading to the private outdoor bistro. Returning to the formal dining room, the central hallway carries the original wood floor from the public rooms to the private quarters. It boasts a deep cedar-lined closet, an adorable, decorative alcove, and an additional double closet on the left. On the right lies the first bedroom displaying a wall of 3 windows, coved ceiling, and roomy walk-in closet. At the end of the L shaped hallway finds the northeast bedroom featuring a walk-in closet and adjoining full bathroom. This bathroom, also accessible from the mud room, has a shower over tub. Off the hallway are stairs leading to a lovely bonus room: a perfect home office or hide-away for kids of any age presenting built-in shelving, wonderful storage with multiple closets, a newer A/C unit to keep the space comfortable, a large window with a view of the rear yard, access to a walk-in attic, and a half bathroom. A centrally located full bathroom features colorful period tiles and a separate shower stall. The southeast bedroom has a walk-in closet and double French doors that lead to a wide deck, perfect for enjoying SoCal’s indoor/outdoor living. Past the deck is the versatile backyard providing ample space for dining, gathering, and multiple outdoor recreation “zones,” one under a shaded tent. The spacious 2-car detached garage is separated by a sliding iron gate and dually accessible via a side door entry. Other highlights for this home include newer professional interior paint, double-paned windows throughout, newer HVAC system, an updated automatic sprinkler system, and professionally landscaped yards. The close proximity to popular shops and markets, the prestigious Clairbourn School, Carver Elementary School, and San Marino High School are additional attributes of this excellent property.
