Description
Escape to timeless elegance in this approximately 2,327 sq ft Art Deco-style two-story residence, perched on an expansive ~18,747 sq ft lot with a sparkling backyard oasis. Rich architectural details meet modern comforts and classic Spanish charm, creating a welcoming sanctuary for comfortable living and entertaining. Inside, the living room welcomes you with an arched doorway, beautiful hardwood pocket doors, high ceilings, a standout fireplace, and hardwood floors. An adjacent seating area—through another set of wood pocket doors—provides a perfect space for hosting guests before a formal dining room that’s sized for large gatherings. On the main floor, you’ll find a generously sized bedroom and a 3/4 bathroom featuring original tile, an arched shower entrance, and a pedestal sink. A grand wood staircase leads to the upper level, where the primary bedroom offers two walk-in closets, built-in dressers and cabinets, and a tranquil pool view. A second bedroom upstairs shares a full bathroom with more original tile and a soaking tub. The private backyard feels like a resort: a gated Grecian-style pool with a spa, a large covered cabana with skylights—ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining—and lush landscaping with fruit trees, including a prominent avocado tree. Additional highlights feature a gated driveway, an attached two-car garage, and more than 42 bright windows that flood the home with light. A basement adds generous storage and a laundry area. Set on a peaceful, generously sized lot that complements the home’s enduring, timeless appeal.
