This one-of-a-kind Spanish Colonial Revival can be found in the renowned Marguerita Lane Historic District, also referred to as the Spanish Revival Village. It is one of the original ''studio houses'' designed by the Schutt Brothers & is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. A rustic wooden gate opens to a private brick courtyard where you spot the quintessential red clay Spanish tile roof. A hearty Wisteria vine climbs its way up to frame the side of a lovely veranda. The threshold is emphasized by the original strip of hand-painted traditional blue & white Spanish tiles. As you open the elegant French doors you realize they were just an introduction to the intimidating fortress-like double doors within, lodged with iron rivets & secured with a hefty iron latch. The living room is breathtaking with dramatic hand hewn beamed ceilings, Saltillo tile & an impressive corner fireplace. It is utterly majestic with a raised hearth & a substantial hand carved mantel displaying the Greek classic anthemion & palmette design motif. A number of graceful arches, built-in bookshelves, a niche lined with festive Spanish Majolica tiles & a recessed window all add further dimension & character. The kitchen boasts another pair of hand hewn beams & as you tilt your head back you find an extra high wood beam ceiling. A massive plastered vent hovers over a retro stove accompanied by an arched recess & decorative switchplates. Custom wood cabinetry, taupe tile countertops & a pantry with plenty of shelving are also featured. A vintage iron chandelier rests over an adorable built-in breakfast nook with views of the back courtyard & the soothing sculptural fig tree, climbing roses, & dignified olive tree among the verdant elephant ears. As you enter the Primary bedroom, you mark the ornate sconces & again, beamed ceilings but they are embellished by the addition of some unique saw woodwork. Here you can see the original oakwood flooring & where it shifts into Saltillo tiles for a darling alcove decorated with lion corbels, built-in shelving & a window looking out to the front courtyard. The main bathroom is spacious & features a walk-in shower with frameless glass doors & a large vanity. The guest room has an extensive built-in bookshelf, wood beam ceilings, elongated hexagon Saltillo tile & hand-painted Spanish tile surrounding the fireplace. Double doors open to a bathroom divided by soothing arches, with a retro sink front & center & a shower on the other side.
