About This Home
As of March 2024Welcome to the most charming 1938 bungalow one will find in the Santa Ynez Valley. Walkable to downtown Solvang and convenient to all the Santa Ynez Valley lifestyle offers, this three bedroom, two bathroom has been curated to maintain the character of its build period while integrating modern amenities. Utilizing the talents of Mark Hemming of MHIC Construction Inc., 1681 Laurel Street shines. Enter through the quintessential gated arbor and step into a home filled with charm-old and new. Original features include the original handmade mahogany kitchen countertops and bathroom vanity. The bright and newly expanded kitchen boasts soft brushed brass hardware and freshly painted, brilliant green cabinets, paying homage to the colors of the 1930s era. Cozy up in a custom banquette to enjoy a hot morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Lighting throughout the home is new yet periodesque. The ensuite primary and guest bathrooms have been completely renovated utilizing quality finishes. Refinished original wood floors ground all of the unique finishes and furnishings throughout the home. Take a walk out to the back yard of this property and one will find an expansive lot. A detached, single car garage includes studio space and loads of storage. What we affectionately refer to as the "barn patio" creates a charming venue for family and friends to gather over the built in oak bbq to enjoy drinks and a meal. Truly words can only do so much to describe this special property.
