Welcome to this elegant and romantic, gated 1926 Spanish estate that sits behind a tall, stately hedge. The architectural four bedroom, three bath residence is beautifully sited on an 10,613 SF parcel that offers an unusual level of privacy on its park-like lot. A rose laden path leads you to the inviting front porch that opens into a gracious entry done in handcrafted tile. From there you step into the sun-drenched living room with a Batcheler fireplace done with a rich wood surround, three tall arched front windows, custom built-ins and hardwood floors. A formal dining room boasts an elegant tray ceiling as well as doors to the exterior and its verdant lawn. A library/office, with barn doors, connects seamlessly to the space. The light and bright chef's kitchen is picture-perfect with a cozy handcrafted breakfast nook, a refurbished antique stove plus an adjoining family room or den. Upstairs there are four large bedrooms as well as a hand painted, decorative balcony. The interior features incredible antique hardware, period fixtures and all the grace of the era. It’s a pleasure to behold.
The exterior is an entertainer’s dream with an outdoor barbeque and kitchen all overlooking the tranquil pool. In addition, there is an expansive pergola with a plentiful grapevine that helps create magical opportunities for al fresco dining, under the stars, with friends or family!
