About This Home

As of September 2016

Stunning 1935 Spanish Colonial sitting in the heart of coveted Lower Hermosa. Lovingly remodeled, this property has been updated to embrace today's lifestyle yet stays grounded in the stunning architectural aesthetic. The original front door welcomes you into the property where you are received via the formal entry to the original living room with coved ceilings and Batchelder tiled fireplace. The main residence offers 3BR/2.5BA and a detached 1BR/1BA apartment is an ideal space for... (see supplement) house guests or exceptionally private home office. The light-filled home opens beautifully to the central courtyard which opens to the new pool and spa. Additionally, an expansive guest apartment is situated over the two car garage. Ocean views are taken in from the main level, master bedroom and the detached guest suite. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, carerra marble counters and backsplash, built-in Miele appliances and a CornuFe gas range/ stove. The kitchen opens beautifully to the family room and just beyond are two downstairs bedrooms. The Master Retreat occupies the entirety of the second floor of the main residence and offers a spa-like bath with soaking tub, carerra marble & mosaic floors, and ample closet space. Custom light fixtures were designed by the Steven Handleman Studio in Santa Barbara, outdoor fixtures from Bevolo in New Orleans. Remodel was designed by the locally respected Bokal and Sneed and executed by Hill Construction. Truly, a one-of-a-kind property just a stones throw from the ocean and walking distance to all Bird Rock has to offer.
