A wooden-beamed ceiling and paper lantern define the space, while direct access to a private backyard deck surrounded by greenery enhances the sense of retreat. Two additional bedrooms line the main hallway, offering comfortable proportions, ornate wrought iron window guards, and textured, rustic wall and ceiling finishes that reflect the home’s Spanish character. A bright hallway bathroom with dual sinks and a tub/shower combo has also been updated with new mirrors, light fixtures, and fresh paint. The lower level offers a versatile den with its own exterior entrance, ideal for a media room, office, or guest space. Wall sconces and newly installed hardwood flooring add warmth and function. A dedicated laundry room with storage and a utility sink sits nearby, along with an adjacent bonus storage area for added convenience. Outdoor spaces are thoughtfully terraced and designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A dining area with built-in bench seating and a built-in BBQ sits beneath a graceful weeping tree, creating a romantic and laid-back setting. A grassy lawn and vegetable garden are surrounded by updated landscaping, including newly planted cypress and olive trees, semi-mature ficus, rosemary, and bougainvillea along the fence and entry. Mature hedging enhances privacy throughout. Additional features include a Nest doorbell and thermostat, as well as an ADT security system with panel and sensors, and gated parking.
