California Craftsman Bungalow with Detached Casita
Features include:This beautifully restored 1921 craftsman is located in the Belmont Heights Historic District, just a short stroll to the beach, cafes, and shopping. It is on an entirely fenced private corner lot with mature landscaping and a large, inviting front porch.
The 1,048 sq ft main home includes 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, along with an approximately 200 sq ft casita that features a second full bathroom. The casita would make a perfect guest house, office, art studio, or playroom and includes a large 60 sq ft walk- in closet, new kitchenette, and custom built-in shelving.
Original architectural elements abound in the bungalow, including refinished white oak and Douglas fir hardwood flooring, restored double-hung and craftsman windows, built-in cabinetry, period plasterwork and moldings, even the original built-in ironing board. In addition, the sun-lit living room features a coved plaster ceiling, beautiful large windows, and a decorative stucco fireplace with original Cal Tile hearth.
The designer kitchen is stunning, with custom Omega cabinetry, Calcutta marble countertops, farmhouse sink, Bertazzoni range, Asko dishwasher and glass subway tile. The adjacent mudroom features limestone tile floors and includes the stainless washer, dryer and refrigerator. The dining area includes an original built-in china cabinet and opens into a cozy alcove with charming cottage windows. There is also a large pantry/closet that could be converted to an office space. The full bath retains its original clawfoot tub, bungalow period cabinetry, penny round tile, and solid wood wainscoting.
The professionally-landscaped backyard is a peaceful private retreat, featuring a generous split-level ironwood deck and pergola, providing the perfect outdoor sanctuary or entertaining space. Central to the yard is a mature pepper tree with a sitting bench built around it. Along the sunny, west-facing side of the yard lies a 300 sq ft “secret” garden, complete with citrus trees, raised garden beds and a timed drip watering system.
The property also features newly-installed central heat and A/C; an upgraded electrical panel; new tankless hot water heater; irrigation system; landscape lighting; copper plumbing; and a one-car carriage garage and driveway.
Furniture and décor also available for purchase. |
