About this home
Featuring impeccable style and lush, curated landscaping, this entirely usable property serves as a serene oasis. Intentional design defines the layout, inside and out. The divine gardens, ideal for relaxation or entertainment, set this property apart. You know you have arrived somewhere special as you open the front gates and step into an enclosed flagstone courtyard shaded by mature specimen trees, with a soothing fountain and mounds of colorful plantings. Close the gates and experience tranquility and harmony. This home has been thoughtfully upgraded by each of its three owners since 1954, while maintaining its original ranch house character.
Inside the home you are met with newly refinished natural oak floors throughout the common rooms.
The living room invites conversation around the central fireplace and picture window that frame the
front courtyard. The open contemporary kitchen is optimized for function and serves as the heart of the home, adjacent to the dining area and den. The upgraded kitchen features plenty of storage, an eating bar, a 6-burner gas range, and double refrigerators/freezers. The first floor provides two additional bedrooms, a charming bathroom with dual vanities, and interior access to a garage with built-in storage.
The back of the house is lined with windows overlooking a sublime outdoor setting designed for relaxation. The entire yard sparkles in the evening with uplighting, accent lighting, string lighting, and
path lighting. The property is filled with specially selected plantings that bloom throughout the year.
Experience the restful setting from any room in the house through ample windows, or from any of these fabulous features:
- An outdoor dining deck draped with wisteria.
- A trellised al fresco dining area next to a tranquil pond.
- A firepit, outdoor shower, and rolling green lawn.
- Accessory Structures: Inviting paths lead to a private studio/office and a meticulously organized
workshop, expanding the property's versatility and storage.
The primary suite occupies the entire upper floor, offering expansive views - including city, islands and ocean. The light-filled bedroom opens to a private deck, while the large walk-in closet includes a private ocean-view office. The primary bath features dual shower heads, a double vanity, and new tile floors.
Music floats from the built-in audio speakers throughout the primary suite, common rooms, and outdoors.
This is a home for someone who appreciates beauty and tranquility. Enjoy the ease of life in Mission Canyon - convenient to downtown while rooted in nature. Access the beauty of the Botanic Garden
through the members' back gate and explore the expansive Tunnel Road trail network just a few blocks away. With biking, hiking, the Rose Garden, the Natural History Museum, the tennis club, and several parks and dog parks all nearby, this neighborhood is a recreationalist's dream.....
