Exceptional award winning architect/artist's own expanded and carefully upgraded Spanish style bungalow set on a large magical parklike lot in an excellent mid-block location. From the custom crafted front door entryway, to the quarter-sawn oak flooring, sustainably harvested walnut fireplace mantle and extraordinary light provided by an abundance of windows, strategically placed skylights and cove lighting at the ceiling, to the "rain forest" granite kitchen countertops in the passionate cook's kitchen and beautiful book matched marble pair of slabs in the primary bathroom, the residence has features too numerous to mention. And the beauty is not only skin deep. The infrastructure of the home has also been updated. In addition, the oversized fully permitted approximately 717 sq ft garage/studio is a newly built structure, which can still function as a large two car garage plus office and storage. It is currently used as an artist's studio and a writer's office and has a 1/2 bath and a separate storage area. The structure has enormous volume, skylights and HVAC. The asymmetrical roofline supports a bank of south facing solar panels that supply most of the power to the entire property. The lush garden of mature drought tolerant plants, citrus and apple tress and raised beds for easy vegetable gardening, is an oasis that has been carefully designed and nourished over many years to provide privacy and calm and a setting that attracts a thriving population of butterflies and birds. A very special property.
