From the minute you enter through the courtyard of this 1920s character Spanish home, you are filled with a sense of peace. This light and bright 2 bedroom, 2 bath home in the heart of the Mission District of San Marino is in a lovely neighborhood and has a fantastic floor-plan with beautiful hardwood floors that flow throughout. The original charm of a 1920s Spanish show in the details: exposed beams, Spanish plaster walls, and original Spanish tile-work are exhibited in the kitchen and on the fireplace hearth. The owners have blended this old-world charm with modern upgrades to the systems, kitchen and baths. Outfitted with Viking appliances for the ultimate chef, the owner has made excellent use of the alcoved nook and kitchen--she even has her own cooking show (Farm-to-Table Family) on PBS filmed right here in this kitchen! The bathrooms were remodeled in 2012 with luxurious taste in fixtures, custom cabinetry, hardware coupled with rare Calcutta marble countertops and siding in the master bathroom and hexagon-shaped Carrera marble floors. The garage has been transformed into a finished playroom with the back wall completely lined with custom sliding door cabinetry. The backyard is lushly landscaped with mature hedging and fruit trees for ultimate privacy and there is ample space for entertaining and al fresco dining. Once a fire pit, a small square of sand is perfect for a sand box! Don't forget this home is zoned for San Marino Schools (Valentine, Huntington & SMHS)!
