Known locally as the Lion House, this early 1910 Spanish Revival is one of the finest examples in California. Meticulously restored to its former glory with modern designer touches inside; 3,662 sq feet in the main home and another 567 in the bedroom above the carriage house. The magic begins in the gourmet kitchen boasting quartzite counters, recessed panel cabinets, Wolf range with a custom wood trimmed vent hood and Walker Zanger tile backsplash, a Sub-Zero refrigerator & dishwasher, enormous center island and large windows that let in so much natural light. Imported Spanish tile, original oak floors which were recently sanded and sealed, laundry chute from the upstairs ensuite bedrooms that end conveniently in the laundry room off the kitchen, new water saving fixtures and energy saving HVAC are just a few of the improvements that were 7 months in the making of this masterpiece. Outside you'll find a 1,300 square foot tile deck overlooking the backyard fireplace, pool and cabana, an 11 foot wrought iron automatic driveway gate and 3 matching wrought iron screen doors that let the breeze in. Above the carriage house that is easily converted to a garage you'll find a guest room and full bath. As beautiful as this home looks in photographs, the only way to truly experience the grandeur and attention to detail is to tour it. Once you have, I promise you will compare all others to The Lion House.
