Property Description
A bougainvillea-lined drive and hand-crafted double gate welcome you to a private and secluded Belmont Heights Hacienda. This dramatic open-concept home with soaring wood-beamed ceilings can’t wait to meet you! In 2003 the current owner took this 1932 home down to the studs and added square footage: Electrical, plumbing, slab work, enlarging and re-envisioning the upstairs with the addition of master suite and expansive wrap-around balcony patio. The professional chef’s kitchen is perfect for casual entertaining and serious cooking! It boasts top-end appliances, Wolfe 6-burner stove, grill and storage, double commercial refrigerator. There’s a large central island of polished concrete with prep sink, warming drawer and seating. Plus, there is a rustic 8-person table bathed in sunlight with windows embracing the gentle sea breezes. Saltillo Paver flooring and classic Mexican Talavera tiles accent the Spanish-like charm. The kitchen opens to a wonderful and roomy living and dining room with ceilings of massive wooden beams, hardwood flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, a projection TV with full-wall retractable screen, and 2 double French doors to the relaxing rear patio. There is a bar area with wine cooler plus a wine cellar room with its hobbit-style door that’s perfect for fine wine storage. Downstairs has a full bath with “step in” jetted tub, and an office (4th bedroom) with French door access to a tranquil rear patio. Off the kitchen there’s a pantry, and a huge, tall garage with room for 2 cars tandem, workshop, oodles of storage and included freezer, washer/dryer. A dramatic stairway takes you upstairs to a large inviting wraparound balcony patio, ready for relaxed year-round entertaining. There’s a Kiva-style fireplace, room for lots of seating and dining, with decorative pillars, cool lighting & bubbly spa tub. The primary bedroom suite is surrounded by French doors opening to the balcony, plus it has tall, beamed ceilings, ceiling fan, a walk-in closet, wood-burning fireplace, and luxurious en-suite bath. Two other large upstairs bedrooms each have high wood-beamed ceilings and share a 3/4 bath with a sunny skylight. In 2020, New solar system, new full upper roof, new HVAC, new tankless water heater, 3 new skylights, ring camera alarm system and new front gate. In 2017 complete balcony water proofing, and in 2023 new roof on the outer balcony skirt. All just 4 blocks to the beach, shops, & great restaurants in a Prime Belmont Heights area.
