About This Home
As of June 2026Thoughtfully reimagined for modern living while honoring its late-1930s Minimal Traditional style, this extensively renovated two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home blends timeless craftsmanship with modern convenience. Over the past five years, nearly every detail has been carefully curated to create a warm and sophisticated living experience. A beautifully landscaped front yard welcomes you with a historic locally sourced brick wall, freshly painted walkway, and hand-painted Mexican Talavera tiles. Inside, the remodeled kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home, featuring red oak flooring with walnut inlays, custom walnut cabinetry, emerald green quartzite countertops, maple butcher block accents, elegant Medmenham Pottery tile work, a cast iron farmhouse sink, and premium Fisher & Paykel appliances. Just beyond the kitchen, a pocket door opens to a functional utility and mudroom space complete with additional cabinetry, a stainless steel sink, modern heat pump water heater, and stackable Miele washer and dryer. Refinished wood floors extend throughout the home, including both bedrooms. The beautifully remodeled hall bathroom features a zero-step walk-in shower accented with rare pre-war water lily tiles, vibrant pink subway and penny tiles, and sage green hexagon flooring, creating a distinctive spa-like retreat. An added powder room provides additional convenience for guests and everyday living. The inviting living room is anchored by an efficient gas insert fireplace framed with original pre-war tiles crafted in Richmond, California, adding warmth and historic character. Modern upgrades include recessed lighting, dual-pane windows, owned solar, forced air heating and air conditioning, Cat6 hardwired ethernet throughout, a low-voltage panel, and a professionally installed wireless mesh network supporting a multi-point Ring camera system. Outdoor spaces are equally impressive, with a custom pergola leading to a manicured rear yard ideal for entertaining or relaxing. A striking mid-century modern-inspired remote-controlled gate opens to the driveway and detached garage, offering flexible space for parking, storage, a workshop, or studio. The garage is also pre-wired for a 220V electric vehicle charger. A rare combination of thoughtful restoration, elevated design, and modern infrastructure, this revitalized home is perfectly suited for today's lifestyle.
