About This Home
As of December 2015Vintage 1930’s charm is evident throughout this inviting property in a convenient location: the site of the Former Flying A Movie Studio. Although built as a duplex and is currently used that way, a former owner lived in this as a single family home. Entry level unit is 3/2, upper level unit is 2/1 + sun room, both have formal dining rooms, breakfast nooks & laundry areas off kitchen. Originally built as both being 2/1, the entry-level unit was expanded to add a large master bedroom and bathroom, making it a 3/2. Each unit can be accessed from the enclosed front entryway or a rear door leading to the backyard. Hardwood floors, built-ins bench-seat windows, breakfast nooks in kitchens, wall sconces, large fireplaces, some original casement windows, some newer double hung windows and a secret closet under the stairs can be found. The two original bathrooms were redone to period and feature penny tile on the floor; subway tile at the bath/shower; and pedestal sinks. Both living rooms feature a West facing bay window, built-in cabinets and shelves, and large wood-burning fireplaces.
The upper level unit still has the original sunroom that enjoys tree-top South & West facing views. The upper level unit has had more work done to it to highlight & retain the historical nature of the era. This includes: kitchen remodel; all walls re-plastered; fireplace mantel and columns; hardwood floors refinished; tub refinished; crown molding, baseboard molding and casement molding was added; the rear exterior stairs leading to the garden were rebuilt in 2012 with redwood and Timber Tech treads; and the original Bakelite electrical outlets were restored.
The entry level unit has a firewood storage cabinet accessible from the inside and outside. The downstairs master bedroom has two large windows and a 'Hollywood Door' to access the lush and enchanting gardens that were designed by the current owners. Dishwasher in kitchen.
It appears that there is room to add a 4th parking space to the left of the 3-car garage but Buyer should verify with the City.
NOTE: Work done by prior owner in downstairs kitchen and master bedroom and bath addition does not match the period restoration done upstairs by current owners.
