Original Craftsman Character, Thoughtfully Restored

A welcoming front porch leads into a sun-filled living room, where a decorative fireplace with handmade tile, built-in shelving, and new solid oak flooring set the tone for the rest of the home. The original windows bring in beautiful natural light, while the simple, warm finishes let the architecture speak for itself.

Just beyond the living room, the formal dining room is one of the home's most special spaces. Original glass-front built-in cabinets, classic woodwork, and windows overlooking the surrounding greenery create a room that feels distinctly of its era. It's the kind of space that makes you want to invite friends over for dinner.

A Renovated Kitchen With a Vintage Sensibility

The kitchen has been completely refreshed without losing the charm of the original home. Custom cabinetry, Carrara marble countertops, a new gourmet range with a custom hood, and a handmade tile backsplash give the space a timeless look. A farmhouse-style sink, brass hardware, refrigerator, and dishwasher complete the kitchen, while a small sitting nook offers a sweet spot for morning coffee or a quick breakfast.

The design feels right at home in a 1920s Craftsman, with materials and details that complement the original architecture rather than compete with it.

Comfortable Bedrooms and Flexible Spaces

The home includes three bedrooms, one beautifully updated bathroom, and an additional room off the interior laundry area that works well as a home office, guest space, or creative room. The larger bedroom is particularly inviting, with French doors that open directly to the backyard garden.

And for those who need a little more room, a separate, approximately 272-square-foot bonus space adjoining the one-car garage provides additional possibilities for a creative studio, workshop, or dedicated workspace.

A Backyard Made for California Living

Outside, the home has a relaxed backyard with a grassy lawn, garden areas, a dining patio, and cozy places to sit with a book or catch up with friends. French doors connect the larger bedroom to the garden, while the outdoor dining area creates an easy setting for meals outside.

It's a comfortable, manageable outdoor space that offers room to entertain, garden, or simply enjoy the Southern California weather.

Beyond the cosmetic improvements, the home has also received important updates to its electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, bringing modern convenience to this century-old property.
