Description
Gorgeous Spanish retreat located in the coveted South Carthay HPOZ. Built in 1934, it includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a den, 2,238 square feet of living space and a 6,885 square foot lot. The hand-crafted artisan gates open to the lushly landscaped brick courtyard and tranquil sounds of its bubbling fountain. The sundrenched living room includes a soaring ceiling with intricately patterned beams, beautifully mantled fireplace, stained glass picture window with street views and French-doors which open to the courtyard. The spacious formal dining room is highlighted by its tall tray ceiling with multiple crown moldings and courtyard views. Adjacent lies the quaint breakfast nook which boasts a built-in hutch. The kitchen exudes the historic charm of the home through its extensive use of period tile and also includes Shaker style cabinets, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. The utility room with washer and dryer hook ups is conveniently located off the kitchen. Travel down the main hallway to find original architectural details such as built in storage cabinetry, a built in bookcase with scalloped archways and a stunning stained glass rotunda skylight. The cozy den is a great space to curl up with a good book. The primary suite is generous in size and has 2 closets. The main bathroom is also accessible from the primary suite and boasts period tile, a separate tub, shower and secluded water closet. The first guest bedroom has a Murphy bed, but currently doubles as an office due to its custom built in cabinetry. The second guest bedroom overlooks the backyard and has access to the remodeled full guest bathroom. The backyard has a charming covered patio perfect for al fresco dining and a large grass area for entertaining family and friends. Additional features include hardwood flooring, central air & heat and a double detached garage.
