Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although built in 1928, the property has undergone extensive renovations within the last 5 years, including a completely redesigned gourmet kitchen and updated bathrooms. Major systems have been recently replaced or added, including a 2-year-old roof, solar panels, a 1-year-old high-efficiency HVAC system, and an EV charger, meeting the highest standards for modern quality and efficiency.
This 1928 Spanish-Mediterranean Revival masterfully preserves historic details like Saltillo pavers and coved ceilings while integrating modern 'green' upgrades including solar panels, a high-efficiency HVAC system, and an EV charger.
The property features a unique 145 sq. ft. finished 'California Basement' with a private entrance and a flexible downstairs bedroom, offering excellent potential for a home office, creative studio, or guest quarters.
The home offers superior indoor-outdoor flow leading to a private two-level courtyard with a mosaic waterfall and an expansive two-tiered wooden deck with a grand gazebo, ideal for high-end hosting.
For a home featuring four bedrooms plus a finished basement, the availability of only two bathrooms may be a functional drawback for larger families or multi-generational households.
While the hardscaped courtyards and decks are excellent for entertaining, the 5,918 sq. ft. lot lacks a significant flat grassy area, which may be a concern for buyers with pets or young children.
