A recently fully updated and renovated cottage in the highly sought after historic neighborhood of California Heights. Walking distance to award winning schools and unique shopping, cafes, coffee houses and breweries. This is one of the earliest built homes in the neighborhood and one of the most unique (in fact, one of a kind) constructed by a stone mason in 1925 with river rock exterior walls. The yard has mature specimens of drought tolerant landscaping including cacti, agave and succulents. The spacious rear yard is an oasis of relaxation with covered lounging patio, expanse of turf and lush planting areas. The rear yard also houses the laundry station conveniently housed just outside the kitchen door. Inside you will experience an open concept living space that unites a large living room with a stone fronted wood burning fireplace, entry area with french paned side lights on either side of the front door, a dining area and a very well laid out kitchen with stainless steel appliances, shaker style cabinets and quartz countertops with island bar. The hall bath has been completely remodeled with a shower over tub and contemporary finishes. The en-suite primary bedroom has 2 large closets and a sliding barn door that reveals an efficient bathroom with walk-in shower. Topping off this spectacular home is a lofty and oversized 2 car garage with vintage old-lumber workbench installed by the original owner.
