Property Description
Welcome to this beautifully sunlit and generously sized 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Dutch Colonial Revival home in the heart of historic Windsor Square. Set on an expansive lot, the residence spans 3,528 square feet complemented by a substantial 1,305 square foot two-story guest house in the rear, offering ample room to live, relax, and grow - both inside and out. From the moment you arrive, the mature landscaping and charming Dutch door invite you into a residence defined by character and space. Inside, the layout flows with purpose, offering dynamic living areas for work, play and rest. The comfortable living room and formal dining room offer flexibility to suit your lifestyle. The chef's kitchen is both practical and inspiring, opening to a bright breakfast room and a separate family room, both featuring custom built-ins. A generous walk-in pantry adds to the kitchen's functionality, creating the perfect hub for everyday living. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable retreats, including a spacious primary suite with its own large private balcony. A convenient upstairs laundry room enhances everyday ease. Step outside and experience true California indoor/outdoor living. The backyard is a lush, serene haven with beautiful mature trees and a large saltwater pool and spa - ideal for relaxation or entertaining. At the rear of the property, the massive guest house offers exceptional flexibility, complete with a loft-like design, 3/4 bath, and private laundry hookups. Additionally, both garage bays offer multi-functional use - one now adapted as a home gym and the second as workshop/storage space. Blending timeless architecture with modern versatility, this special residence offers not just a home, but a lifestyle of space, comfort, and endless possibility.
