Welcome Home to the sought-after community of Talmadge! Step inside a gracious Three Bedroom + study, Two Full Bathroom home, paid solar panels and enjoy the beauty of this vintage neighborhood to the fullest. House built by Larry Imig, who also built the Lafayette Hotel. From the abundance of original 1941 details found throughout the home, to its private Balboa Park inspired back garden, this property offers the perfect mix of modern convenience and vintage charm. Throughout this home, beautifully restored narrow-plank oak flooring, tray ceilings, and custom plaster corners and moldings are just a few of the vintage touches that simply can't be found in every home. The welcoming fluted entry arch flows into a light-filled Living Room, where you'll enjoy the cozy fireplace and original arched mirror details on either side of the large bay window. Through another decorative arch, custom plaster moldings create an elegant, paneled effect in the Dining Room. Adjoining the Living and Dining areas through sliding French doors, the Study is perfect for those who work from home, with a full wall of custom built-in bookcases and access to the backyard breezeway, where you'll enjoy a cooling cross-breeze scented with star jasmine in the warmer months. The Kitchen has been lightly updated but still retains much of its original layout and cabinetry, complete with a corner window framing sunset views over the treetops of Talmadge and Kensington. Modern touches include granite countertops, natural stone tile backsplash and stainless 5-burner gas stove and coordinating refrigerator. The adjacent laundry area features a new Electrolux washer and gas dryer, and convenient access to the driveway and covered carport. After a long day, retreat to the spacious Primary Suite, which offers a serene respite from the worries of the day. The spa-inspired Full Bathroom features a double vanity, granite, and a luxurious walk-in shower. Continuing past the double closet, there is ample space for a king bed and then some, complete with a tranquil view of the secluded backyard through your own double French doors, which adjoin the brick-floored sunporch. Through the dining room, a private hallway offers a recently remodeled Hall Bath filled with vintage-inspired custom tilework, another spacious shower, and large linen closet. The opposite side of the hallway features floor-to-ceiling storage cabinets that are original to the home, and the entrance to the attic, which holds a unique surprise: a hidden hydroponic plant nursery space that can also be used for storage. At the end of the hallway, each of Two Oversized Bedrooms feature the same hardwoods and double French-door access to the sunroom, framing peaceful views of the garden. Outside, follow the fragrant aroma of herbs to the idyllic backyard patio space, your own secret garden setting reminiscent of the beauty of Balboa Park, detailed with custom brickwork, cedar planters filled with organic herbs, and handmade Mexican tilework. The detached two-car garage offers convenience and additional storage space and completes this home's 5 Gated Parking Spaces (with additional space for one more outside the automatic gate). There is also a list of added features for this home! Newer Solar with Battery Backup will provide green power for your home well into the night, plus newer HVAC, Washer, Dryer, and Double-Paned Windows. Walk to The Talmadge Circle and enjoy all that this vibrant and family-oriented community has to offer, from Food Truck Night to Christmas Caroling, the annual Halloween Parade, block parties and more.
