Detailed Introduction Of This Home
On a quiet tree-lined street, this exquisite 1930s Spanish style residence in the coveted Midwick Park neighborhood of Alhambra has been in the same family for more than 45 years. Beyond the spacious porte-cochere, a long, double-wide driveway extends from the street to the detached two-car garage providing a touch of grandeur to the home's entrance. As you make your way through the property, a romantic outdoor courtyard beckons, highlighting arched niches and doorways, intricate ironwork and light fixtures imparting a glimpse of what is yet to come. Inside, fall in love! An impressive living room with picturesque casement windows, decorative fireplace, and wood floors highlight preserved character details of the home. Flanked by corner windows and views of the courtyard, the formal dining room is the perfect entertaining space. The kitchen is anchored by a sweet, sun-filled breakfast nook with French doors that open onto the patio. It is a charming space that seamlessly integrates into the culinary hub of the home. Conveniently off the kitchen, the laundry room offers easy access to the backyard garden. Two well appointed bedrooms can be found privately tucked off of a central corridor. Peeking out from the hallway, one catches a colorful glance into the home's vintage features including original tiles, glass doorknobs, an arched shower and a separate bathtub. Upstairs, a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and private bath complete the space. The backyard is a place of refuge and large enough for a potential ADU. This home is a perfect project for the visionary that seeks to restore unique architectural features while incorporating personal flair.
