Description

Welcome to this 1930 Spanish gem in coveted Cheviot Hills, tucked behind a gated front garden, its charm immediate and unmistakable. What follows is a lovingly renovated home that preserves its heritage and blends timeless character with carefully considered modern enhancements. Step inside, and the living room opens with warmth and ease - sunlight streams through original arched windows, coved ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace anchors the space. The open living and dining areas connect with the renovated kitchen with generous workspace, butler's pantry, ample storage, and top-of-the-line appliances including a vintage O'Keefe & Merritt range in great working order. The breakfast nook, nestled under a window framed by bougainvillea, is a favorite spot for morning coffee. The main home offers three bedrooms, including a serene primary suite where French doors open wide to a decked patio and lush backyard. The light here is beautiful - gentle in the morning, golden in the afternoon. Two additional bedrooms share a renovated hall bath with classic detailing and modern functionality. And then an unexpected surprise. In perfect architectural harmony - a reimagined garage has been transformed into a sleek companion structure - its clean lines and modern finishes offer a striking contrast to the main house. Inside, you'll find a generous work studio, guest bedroom, and full bath. Rich walnut ceilings add warmth and texture, elevating the space with a sense of understated luxury. 10ft Floor-to-ceiling aluminum sliders fully open the space to the deck, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor. The yard is a true extension of the home, with multiple gathering areas, an outdoor kitchen with a built-in BBQ, and decks made from steamed white cedar. It's framed by thoughtfully chosen plantings - lemon trees, passion fruit vine, Japanese elm, and a striking maple that provides shade and seasonal color. This is a rare home with character, history and a quiet elegance that's hard to find and even harder to leave.
