Extraordinary 1927 Spanish-style home with Southwest influences in historic Floral Park. Architectural details surround you, from archways and arcades, as well as original hardwood floors and pavers. This home is rich with accents of leaded and stained glass mixed in with beautiful arched windows. The stunningly landscaped, drought-tolerant yard perfectly complements the Southwestern Spanish motif, giving the feeling of relaxing at a spa resort.
You enter the house by traveling down a path, past a bubbling fountain and through an arch to the welcoming porch and dramatic front door. The living room is spacious and features hardwood floors, large windows with views of the garden, large beams, and a wood burning stove in the traditional, Batchelder-style tile fireplace.
The dining room is open and has views of the garden, as well as a beamed ceiling, arched windows, a floor of vintage pavers and a wall of built-in storage. The amazing kitchen has black stone countertops with ample space, stainless steel appliances, black-and-white checkered flooring, an eat-in counter, vintage-style tiled backsplash, and a wonderful breakfast nook, complete with a French door looking out to the porch and front-yard landscaping.
The family room features pavers, built-in bookshelves, a skylight, a brick wall, and a view out to the patio and pool through an arched window.
The home’s downstairs has a spacious primary bedroom with a beamed ceiling, a large brick fireplace, and a walk-in closet, along with 2 guest bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Stairs to the upper level are covered with pavers and tiles, and lead to a large office with a balcony overlooking the pool, as well as another expansive bedroom with a view of the neighborhood.
A partially covered patio runs along the den and primary bedroom wing, and features a rustic brick wall and a charming style all its own. The sparkling pool and spa are inviting, and are set at an angle to the rest to the yard and surrounded by greenery. The side yard has archways running the length of the house, and combined with the pool area, create an atmosphere of private oasis.
A rooftop 6KwH owned solar array is out of view on the second story. Last year’s SCE bill was a meager $12.16 for the year! A 220V electric car outlet is included as well.
