Live like an owner, not a renter in this studio-close location. This authentic 1930â?²s home was immaculately restored in 2005 with modern amenities. The AC and heating systems were updated as well. Every window and door has an alarm sensor, including interior motion sensors for when you are away. In front you have an electric gate for your driveway and a call-box front path gate. You can buzz-in your visitors or ignore solicitors. Inside the gate is a beautiful courtyard with fountain for evening dining or morning coffee. The living room has pitched and beamed ceilings with a wood-burning fireplace and beautiful hand-painted art. The wood windows open like doors to allow cross-ventilation. There are many arched entrances, and many have hand-painted art embellishing the arches. The living room also has built-in surround-sound speakers. All of the wiring for the TV and stereo go through the wall to the adjacent coat closet so your electronics are obscured from sight. Original oak strip floors can be found throughout the house except for the kitchens and baths. The kitchen has burgundy Viking appliances â?? refrigerator, microwave, oven/range and dishwasher. Authentic Spanish tiles line the counters and backsplashes. The laundry area is adjacent to the kitchen and washer / dryer are included. The floors are Saltillo tile. This house has a central hall plan, so itâ??s great for young families. The larger bathroom has a claw-foot tub with top-of-the-line hardware and lighting throughout. The shower has a frameless glass door with two separate options for shower heads, and both the shower and floors of the bathroom are tiled with Italian slate. The cabinetry in the bathroom is built-in, and the bathroom connects to the Master through a dressing area with built-in vanity. The Master bedroom is at the back of the house, and has coved ceilings, crown moldings, and built-in surround sound speakers. All three bedrooms have plantation shutters, as well as the breakfast nook / bar, which can also be used as an office. The detached garage is lined with cabinets, and has a raised wood floor for use as a playroom or office. The backyard has many seating areas, grass, a built-in fireplace, built-in gas BBQ and tiled BBQ area, and 3 fruit trees. If you have children we will leave behind the swingset and tree swing. We are also willing to leave behind most of the potted plants, and two table and chair sets that seat 6 each. There is also an outdoor sound system wired to the inside stereo, and landscape lights. This house has been lovingly cared for and maintained, and we are looking for a tenant that will show the same love and care to this special home. With that in mind, the security deposit will be one and a half times the rent. We will consider pets, please call. Elementary School is Rio Vista.
