Located on a beautiful tree-lined street in the Caltech neighborhood is this enchanting English-style home; a beguiling blend of period finishes, and modern updates influenced by Mid Century British and American design.Architectural elements abound in this early 30's character home. The living room with a dramatic, soaring trestle-beamed ceiling is accented with hanging vintage schoolhouse pendant lighting. This is juxtaposed with the clean lines of bifold doors extending the length of the living room which open completely to reveal a courtyard patio and English garden designed with slate tile, climbing roses and trees. The living room also features built in bookshelves and a tiled fireplace with a mahogany mantle. The property has undergone an extensive bespoke renovation that embraces the historic design of the home while adding all the modern amenities desired. The cook's kitchen has been expanded and opened to the dining room to create a fluid cooking and dining experience for how we live and entertain today. Elements of this thoughtfully designed space include custom cabinetry with nickel hardware topped with soapstone countertops, six-burner gas cooktop, a double oven, center island with a Carrera surface, farmhouse sink with nickel fixtures and a beautiful leaded glass bay window that is original to the home. Discreetly tucked away behind a door, sits a slight set of stairs giving access to a loft-style family room and separate home office both with ductless split systems for heating and cooling. The primary bedroom has French doors that open to the rear private gard
