The original Saltillo tile steps lead you up to stately front door that opens into a gracious entry done in handcrafted tile below and gorgeous, hand stenciled wood beams above. From there you are beckoned into the sun-drenched, step-down living room with an elegant, decorative central fireplace that is crowned by a picture-perfect niche. In addition, there is a soaring curved front window, a tall beamed ceiling with hand-hewn painted beams as well as Moorish arched doorways and French doors. A formal dining room is wrapped in windows and has lovely rolled crown molding. The lower level has an en-suite bedroom, as well as a den that could be equally wonderful as a bedroom. The spacious kitchen has a breakfast peninsula, stainless steel appliances and gleaming white cabinetry. Finally, this level has a bonus bar area that is ideal for entertaining or game night! Upstairs there are three large bedrooms, two of which open out, via French doors, to private patios that offer views of the tree-lined street below aswell as the majestic San Gabriel mountains rising in the background. The interior features incredible antique hardware, period fixtures, a sweeping curved staircase with a showcase worthy, wrought-iron banister and all the grace of the era. It's a pleasure to behold.
