This classic 1930 hand-built Spanish home is nestled on a Mission Canyon hilltop embraced by 3/4 acre of heritage oaks, fruit trees, fern and succulents. Distinctive design elements lend an air of enchantment and expansiveness to the interior that surprise and delight.Upon entering, the eyes sweep upward to a wooden-beamed ceiling that soars over the octagonal living room. Drenched in light from a large paned window and French doors that lead to balconies with island views, the teak flooring contrasts with thick, creamy, plastered walls. A large wall niche begs for a focal-piece painting and a wood-burning fireplace add a cozy touch. Decorative tile steps lead through a peaked Moorish archway to the main bedroom, airy and light with garden views. Read more... The bathroom has been remodeled in concert with tradition, offering a deep tub with shower and a farm-style porcelain sink. Honeycomb floor tiles and wainscot buttercream tile surrounds accented with a colorful wall niche add artistry.
The updated kitchen, with dining nook and Steve Handelman iron chandeliers, abounds with roomy light-colored cabinets, dark teak countertops and tile backsplash. Modernized without sacrificing the integrity of the traditional, a stainless dishwasher and large gas stove with central griddle and high-tech hood add convenience. The second bedroom has the feel of antique attic chic or an artist's garret, with slanted beamed ceiling, wind-out windows and walk-in closet. Throughout this aesthetically pleasing home, many original fixtures have been intentionally retained, including door knobs, iron curtain rods, lighting fixtures and wrought iron floor heating grates. Even the garage has the original double barn doors! A large area at the top of the California Gold gravel driveway offers ample parking for guests.
A small office area behind the kitchen leads to the park-like back yard and al fresco dining area. With its large patios and captivating oak and pepper tree shaded "secret garden" atmosphere, "la bonita" is ideal for outdoor California living, gardening and entertaining. This private country setting is minutes away from the Mission, Botanic Gardens, downtown and a short distance from pristine beaches and stunning parks.
