From the striking curb appeal and private front patio to the welcoming foyer with gleaming hardwood floors, every detail feels timeless and intentional.Original book-matched oak paneling and custom cabinetry crafted by the home’s original owner create a warm architectural backdrop preserved for decades. The living room features a stone fireplace, custom wood mantel, and expansive windows overlooking the private backyard. A separate dining room flows into the well-preserved kitchen, where original avocado appliances, a built-in cooktop, double ovens, and abundant storage celebrate the home’s era while remaining remarkably functional.The main level offers three bedrooms with hardwood floors, including a spacious primary suite. Downstairs, an ideal entertaining space features newer flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, an iconic atomic wet bar, and a renovated bath with a steam shower. An additional bedroom and separate-entry bonus space offer flexibility for guests, creative pursuits, multigenerational living, or future ADU potential.The south-facing backyard is truly special.
