Sometimes the easiest choice is to replace. The more interesting choice is to look at what is already there and see what it can become. That has been the philosophy behind the transformation of this special property. Instead of covering the original hardwood floors, for example, with less expensive, commonly used luxury vinyl, most existing floors in front house were rescued, resurfaced, and brought back to life. Two completely separate & Vacant residences: 2-bedroom front home and a 1-bedroom rear home, offering privacy, flexibility, and the rare feeling of having your own distinct space. Private individual patios were curated & designed to create a private place to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy a little Southern California sunshine. Modern comforts include mini-split systems for heating and air conditioning, bringing efficient, year-round comfort to both homes. Solar systems have also been added, including a Tesla system serving the front residence, bringing smarter energy to a thoughtfully reimagined home. From carefully selected lighting, plumbing fixtures, new dishwasher, new fridge to hardware and finishing touches that quietly elevate every day life. The goal was to create spaces that feel polished and warm. Beyond the transformation you see today, additional planning has gone into understanding what may be possible tomorrow. An architect was engaged to prepare a professional property survey and explore potential future and it's to include as part of the sale. The only drawback? You'll have to wait a little longer as final upgrades and city permits are being finalized. Professional pics & Open houses to be announced as soon as available as there are no showings at this time.
