Description

Set on a quiet street, this hard-to-find, truly authentic Spanish home holds onto the character that defines it, with exposed beams, warm wood floors, Saltillo tile, arched doorways and details that give the home its sense of history and charm. The living room is filled with natural light and anchored by a corner fireplace, with a classic arched opening to the dining room. At the center is a recently updated kitchen that feels both current and in keeping with the home, with marble countertops, open shelving, and paneled appliances. The layout remains practical and connected, with an intimate eat-in area at one end and, at the other, beautiful oak built-ins that add both warmth and function while neatly integrating the laundry. The bedrooms are well proportioned and comfortable. The primary sits toward the back with doors that open directly to the yard, bringing in light and creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow. The en-suite bath is bright and thoughtfully finished, while the second bath offers a soaking tub, rain shower, and built-in storage with a simple, classic sensibility. Outdoors, the yard is open and inviting, with mature trees, thoughtful planting, and a dedicated vegetable garden that give it a quiet, magical feel. It is a space that feels established and easy to enjoy, whether for everyday living or gathering with friends. The finished garage offers excellent built-in storage and flexibility, with potential to evolve over time depending on your needs. Homes like this do not come along often, where the character is still intact and the updates feel in line with what was always here, a true Spanish at heart.
