A Rare 1930 Spanish Revival Gem with Timeless Character and Modern Comforts. This residence boasts four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an architectural story that unfolds at every turn. The living room sets the stage with a wood-burning fireplace, dramatic picture windows, a charming window seat with hidden storage, and an original built-in secretary desk. French doors with original hardware open gracefully into the dining room, creating a seamless flow for gatherings. Throughout the original structure, plaster walls remain intact, preserving the home’s authentic character. The kitchen and original bath have been tastefully remodeled, preserving charm while offering everyday functionality. A significant 1990 addition expanded the home to include a versatile fourth bedroom with a private balcony (currently serving as a home office), a laundry room, a basement retreat perfect for entertaining or work, and an expansive owner’s suite. This owner’s retreat features a vaulted ceiling, hardwood flooring, a custom walk-in closet, a spa-like bath with clawfoot tub, a skylight, and its own wood-burning fireplace. Sliding doors lead to a covered deck overlooking the patio, complete with a water fountain and string lights for enchanting evenings. Looking over the private backyard lined with string lights secluded from the outside world, it is an entertainer’s dream.
