At the heart of this abode lies an open kitchen embellished with gleaming stainless steel and stone countertops, centered around a generous island that faces the dining room and the adjoining family/media space, featuring a whimsical ladder that leads to a delightful loft area. French doors, gracing both the kitchen and family room, open onto a charming private stone patio adorned with a delightful three-tiered fountain.

Complete with an outdoor BBQ kitchen, a refreshing plunge pool, areas of artificial turf, and soothing spa retreats, this enchanted setting is made all the more magical by the Tivoli lights gracefully suspended from an impressive trellis adorned with flourishing vines. Returning indoors, two generously sized bedrooms share a dual sink bathroom, while the master suite, complete with a walk-in closet, offers a serene view of the backyard through its own elegant French doors. Modern updates, such as dual zones of heating and air conditioning, recessed lighting, built-in speakers, and an electric vehicle charging station, seamlessly blend with the timeless charm of the 1930s.
