About This Home
TWO charming San Roque cottages perfect for guest house or dual living are set privately behind fences and hedges on a quiet lane, spacious lot with delightful gardens in the desirable Hope/La Colina elementary and middle school district. Accessed through a tall hedge with sweet wrought iron gate, the spacious, single story, remodeled front house is 1264 sq. ft. with three bedrooms and two baths. The open living and dining rooms feature beamed cathedral ceilings refinished hardwood floors and lead to a remodeled gourmet kitchen with granite counters, Wolf range and cherry cabinetry. There is an adjacent laundry area. The private garden offers lawn, fruit trees, deck and gazebo with an additional utility shed and access to covered parking. Many upgrades including seismic/drainage, new heating/AC, landscaping and hardscaping. The two-story back guest cottage is 1074 sq. ft, a cozy garden retreat with living room, updated kitchen, and dining room on the first level. The second level includes two bedrooms and one bath with vaulted ceilings and skylights. The primary bedroom opens onto a balcony with gorgeous mountain view, and the second bedroom has woodsy knotty pine paneling and bay window overlooking the garden. There is an attached one car garage to this cottage. The fenced back garden is delightful with open gazebo, fruit trees, potting beds and a riot of color from jasmine, bougainvillea, etc. Now offered vacant, these homes are perfect for own occupancy, dual living and also have a past rental history. So much charm, flexibility, and opportunity for the price!
