Agent Remarks: Located on a beautiful tree-lined street in the Caltech neighborhood is this enchanting English-style home; a beguiling blend of period finishes, and modern updates influenced by Mid Century British and American design.Architectural elements abound in this early 30's character home. The living room with a dramatic, soaring trestle-beamed ceiling is accented with hanging vintage schoolhouse pendant lighting. This is juxtaposed with the clean lines of bifold doors extending the length of the living room which open completely to reveal a courtyard patio and English garden designed with slate tile, climbing roses and trees. The living room also features built in bookshelves and a tiled fireplace with a mahogany mantle. The property has undergone an extensive bespoke renovation that embraces the historic design of the home while adding all the modern amenities desired. The cook's kitchen has been expanded and opened to the dining room to create a fluid cooking and dining experience for how we live and entertain today. Elements of this thoughtfully designed space include custom cabinetry with nickel hardware topped with soapstone countertops, six-burner gas cooktop, a double oven, center island with a Carrera surface, farmhouse sink with nickel fixtures and a beautiful leaded glass bay window that is original to the home. Discreetly tucked away behind a door, sits a slight set of stairs giving access to a loft-style family room and separate home office both with ductless split systems for heating and cooling. The primary bedroom has French doors that open to the rear private garden and all three bedrooms have custom designed closets. There are two spacious bathrooms, both with large showers and one with a classic porcelain tub. The pedestal sink and fixtures throughout the primary bathroom have been imported from the UK, and the second bathroom features floor to ceiling subway tile. Once outside you will discover one enchanting space after another. From the central courtyard with fountain, follow a charming path lined with trees and shrubs, pass the swing that hangs from the treehouse above and you'll find yourself in an elegant walled garden with a sitting area and a second fountain. Additional features include original hardwood floors, double-glazed windows, a two-car attached garage with a Tesla charging station, tankless hot water heater and Cat 6 Ethernet wiring throughout.
