Elegantly restored Spanish Colonial home embodies timeless sophistication and modern luxury. Upon entering through the grand foyer, you are greeted by a dazzling crystal chandelier that sets the tone for the home’s refined ambiance. The foyer, flanked by two convenient closets, offers a graceful introduction to the residence’s carefully curated spaces. To the left, a charming library invites quiet contemplation, featuring a striking wood-paneled ceiling, built-in bookcase, and a convenient adjoining powder room. On the right, the sun-drenched living room showcases Pella windows, a stately wood-burning fireplace, and rich wood flooring that harmonizes with the recessed lighting and soaring 10-foot ceilings. Two grand archways create an open flow into the formal dining room, where additional archways frame picturesque views of the home’s botanical gallery-a tranquil, nature-inspired retreat. The heart of the home, the kitchen, seamlessly blends function and artistry. A generous island with a quartz countertop anchors the space, surrounded by custom cabinetry, cafe-style appliances, and a vaulted wood ceiling that exudes charm. A window above the sink offers a serene view, while a wine cabinet adds a luxurious touch. Adjacent to the kitchen, a dual-purpose butler’s pantry and laundry room provide ample counter space, storage, and a convenient sink. For intimate gatherings, the cozy piano room-with its encaustic tile flooring and rows of windows overlooking the meticulously manicured front yard-evokes warmth and inspiration. A second family room on the lower level, accentuated by restored New Orleans-style glass doors, offers a perfect space for relaxation and entertainment. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene sanctuary, featuring vaulted ceilings, multiple closets, and a bright, airy sitting room. The primary bath is a vision of elegance, adorned with encaustic tiles, double sinks set in quartz countertops, and an oversized tiled shower enclosed by seamless glass doors. Two additional bedrooms, brimming with natural light and equipped with ceiling fans, share a stylish bath with cement-tiled floors, a quartz countertop, and a tiled shower. The enchanting backyard extends the home’s living space outdoors, with a sprawling wooden deck ideal for alfresco dining and lounging. Adding to the allure is a two-story casita, encompassing 998 sq.ft. of open-plan living. The casita features vaulted beamed ceilings, exposed shiplap walls, and a thoughtfully designed living, dining, and kitchen area. Upstairs, a private bedroom with a walk-in closet and tiled shower bath. Artfully restored and thoughtfully appointed, this Spanish Colonial masterpiece in Monte Vista awaits its next discerning owner-a true testament to architectural beauty and modern living.
