Mission Hills is loved for her convenient midtown but quietly set-above location, historic and artistic architecture, excellent schools, 2 treasured parks, fascinating historical import to our city, and most loved, a community of dining, concerts, neighbors and friends who care and share while maintaining their own independence. Once upon a time this home was a one-story, nice but not the distinctive residence she is today. The owners took time and expert input in developing her quality look and function. Bokal and Sneeds architectural drawings are available if desired by buyer. The exterior sports a very fine “Santa Barbara” finish, quickly engaging as you enter the large enclosed courtyard. From the vaulted entry with sweeping staircase to the second floor, you know this is not a duplicated home. Every step takes time to absorb. The kitchen, open yet still glamorous, is both an ideal work space and company-gorgeous. Those pull-out cupboards and shelving are Sapele wood (African Mahogany), kitchen island and tile behind sink is Brazilian lava, there are 2 dishwashers, a pantry, with visual/physical access to the dining, living and deck areas. The first floor also offers a clever petite office and wine storage around the stair well, a full guest bath with 30" wide doors, and a comfortable first floor bedroom with continued distinctive quality and flare, and direct interior access to the garage. Expansive deck includes a built-in barbecue, small fridge, 2 cupboards and a sink. Walking up the easy circular stairs to the second floor with 9’ ceilings, your feet will notice the rare plush wool carpet (except for tiled bathrooms). The Master Bedroom is very expansive, giving a sense of freedom, broad deep view, and deck access. Two additional bedrooms (one used as office and sharing deck access with the master), a generous hall bath with 2 sinks and shower-over-tub, full laundry room with side-by-side washer and dryer plus shelves, cupboards, and hanging space. The second floor deck again goes across the back the house and includes a stairway access to the rooftop deck as well as ground floor. The roof deck delivers 360° of view, a small refrigerator, two cupboards and a sink, wonderful space watching the world under sun and stars. First and second floors have separate air conditioning/heating systems. The vegan or fruit lover will find glee in the Pomegranate, Black Mission Fig, Fuyu Persimmon, Pineapple Guava, Algerian Tangerine, Page Tangerine, Pixie Tangerine, Kishu Mini Tangerine, Ruby Red Grapefruit, Washington Navel Orange, Tarocco, Blood Orange, Eureka Lemon, Meyer Lemon, 2 Hass Avocado trees, as well as White Mulberry, Purple Passion Fruit, raspberry and blackberry vines, and room for herbs.
