A skylight shines light on this dreamy Chef's kitchen, which holds gorgeous quartzite counters with matching backsplash, upgraded cabinets, floating live-edge shelving and a SS Kenmore Elite appliance suite. The kitchen overlooks the oversized Arizona Room, which is used for storage, entertaining, or can easily be converted to a garage.The guest bathroom has floor-to-ceiling tiled walls, original clawfoot tub that was reglazed to complement the Encaustic Cement floor tile, which then artfully transitions to the hardwood flooring found throughout the house. Natural light pours into the Primary Suite from the french doors that lead to a secluded covered patio. You'll never want to leave your bathroom with its custom floating quartzite double sink vanity with attached makeup counter, a Fireclay tiled indoor/outdoor shower (!!!), and private Ove bidet toilet. Dance in an oversized custom walk-in closet with everything you can imagine: island with enclosed hampers, floor-to-ceiling shoe shelving, built-in dressers, and even hidden jewelry drawers!
The best feature is the original root cellar, which is now incorporated into the home as a trap door basement and is currently used as an underground storage area and speakeasy wine bar! The potential for this space is limitless!
Entertain in the tranquil backyard with its xeriscape design, built-in hot tub, custom pre-lit pergola for large patio seating, along with the secret desert garden. While maintaining historic integrity, rest easy knowing that your home now has new HVAC, duct work, insulation, windows, paint, electrical, plumbing, etc. All the hard work has been done for you! This was going to be our forever home therefore, much love, time, and money was poured into it. We know you'll love this home as much as we do!
