About This Home

As of October 2018

Reminiscent of the seaside cottages of Laguna Beach's Artist Colony, this 1940s beauty and its 1920s mini-me guest house radiate vintage charm and casual elegance! Just over 3000 sq. ft., the main house features original hardwood floors in mint condition, multiple French doors opening to multiple decks + four en-suite bedrooms. Lovely grounds offer luminous pool and spa, citrus and mature trees, gorgeous paths & stone walls. Wrought iron gated entry. Pano views from main house and 2Br/1Ba guest bungalow! Interesting history. Streets in this Mt. Helix enclave are named after the 1902 novel, "The Virginian: A Horseman of the Plains" written by Owen Wister. In the novel (the first western novel ever written) the Virginian's love interest is Molly Woods! The area was developed by the writer's college friend. HOME FEATURES: Built 1941, rehabbed in the 1980’s. Kitchen features Sub-Zero refrigerator, double convection ovens (Thermador), trash compactor, slab granite counters & new pantry. Upstairs bath's vintage fixtures most likely came from the guest cottage and are date printed from the 1920s. Downstairs' "Princess Bedroom" has new french doors, granite floors and walls in the bath and new jet tub. Master bedroom includes new French doors & wood-burning masonry fireplace. Located downstairs is also a wine closet with cooler + cedar-lined closet. Water heater is tankless, there is a whole-house fan and HVAC is less than one-year old. Garage Studio (from converted garage) is newly renovated and houses washer & dryer, attic access ladder. Workshop is located underneath Guest House. Grounds: Pool-built 2006, jacuzzi, heated pool and solar, bluetooth sound system Fully fenced and gated driveway Fire ring Fruit trees- lemon, orange, peach, tangerine, lime, loquat, pecan and avocado Terraced flower beds Dog kennel
