This epic c.1948 Alfred Anderson home is located in the heart of the North Encanto historic district and represents an exquisite example of the provincial ranch architectural style. While gracefully preserved in all the right places, the recent renovation served to preserve + enhance the home's authentic vintage appeal. The owners endeavored to create a distinctive space, appointed with architectural brilliance and impressive interiors. Talk about curb appeal! The front of the home is dialed in with crisp white paint, dark trim + shutters and all new black Milgard dual pane windows. Beyond the sprawling lawn and paver-lined drive + walkway sits a welcoming covered porch and a newly-installed mid-century modern breeze block wall that screens a cozy concrete paver sitting area. This front porch proudly displays an iconic bronze wall plaque showcasing the home's distinguished status of being included on the National Register of Historic Places. Being on the National Register makes the home eligible for access to grants, assistance with restoration and tax incentives. The current historic tax reclassification saves owner-occupants 50% on the property taxes. Step inside to discover extraordinary craftsmanship and inspiring interiors that flow beautifully, with many period details preserved. If you love light-filled spaces, you have found your match! The formal entry welcomes guests and leads into the home's living spaces. The stately living room is adorned with crown molding, two-tone walls with chair rail molding and hardwood floors. A built-in entertainment wall offers timeless, shaker-style white cabinetry, display shelving and a shiplap for TV mounting. The striking beauty of the new black framed Milgard dual pane windows can be appreciated throughout the home, but especially in the spacious living room with its 4 windows. The kitchen is a dream to prep and enjoy meals in and has been thoroughly remodeled. Enjoy classic white raised panel cabinetry, new vintage-inspired pulls, black granite counters, stainless steel appliances (Frigidaire gas range/oven, LG built-in microwave, Whirlpool dishwasher and LG French door refrigerator), subway tile backsplash and hardwood floors. A corner sink with new faucet overlooks the front yard with 2 new dual pane windows and a farmhouse pendant light hangs above. The eat-in kitchen has plenty of room for a casual dining set or adding an island with seating. Located off the kitchen is the inside laundry room with mosaic tile floors and glass block window- the washer + dryer are included in the sale. The formal dining room is SO special; it begs for dinner parties and family gatherings. With warm hardwood floors underfoot, new corner dual pane windows, a striking modern chandelier and 2 tone-walls with crown + chair rail moldings, it is simply perfection. Don't miss the original preserved 1950s milk door! There are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The primary suite features a private bath with subway tiled shower surround and pebble tiled shower floor, updated white vanity + faucet and mosaic tile floors. The hall bath is a perfect mix of new and old with a restored cast iron tub with subway tile surround, vintage-inspired shower fixtures, mosaic tile floors and newer furniture-quality double vanity with quartz counters. The original bath built-ins remain intact. Storage galore inside with a generous pantry, hallway storage room and built-ins. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are spacious, with both having small walk-in closets, hardwood floors, new windows and ceiling fans. The 4th bedroom addition was built by a licensed contractor in 2020 by converting the existing 1 car garage (the garage door is currently just decorative, in order to maintain the front elevation). Whether you work from home or want space for visiting family and friends, the 4th bedroom offers generous, flexible space to suit many needs. The modern features in the 4th bedroom include stained black concrete floors, efficient mini split AC, smooth coat walls and new Milgard clerestory windows + sliding glass doors that open to the rear patio. The home has been continuously updated and recent improvements include a new 200 amp electrical panel with UNDERGROUND electrical lines, all new black-framed Milgard windows and sliding glass door, remodeled kitchen and baths, fresh interior/exterior paint and a Nest thermostat. The paver-lined driveway can accommodate 2+ vehicles and offers a new electric vehicle charger. Every detail in the rear yard is meticulously curated to enhance the mid-century vibes. The wrap-around covered patio offers ~693 square feet of outdoor livable space that can be enjoyed year-round. Beyond the expansive patio is a sprawling synthetic lawn with concrete paver sitting area. The rear yard has block fencing and desert-adapted plants. North Encanto is a wonderful community where neighbors gather several times a year for special events.
