LOCALLA

Tucked into the heart of coveted La Tijera Village, this beautifully updated 1940 home blends timeless character with how we live today. Original moldings, rich hardwood flooring, and classic architectural details bring warmth and authenticity throughout, while thoughtfully renovated kitchen and bathrooms add the right balance of style and function. The chic kitchen has been remodeled with an eye for both everyday ease and entertaining, opening seamlessly into bright living spaces filled with natural light. Updated bathrooms feel clean, elevated, and move-in ready without sacrificing the home's original charm. Set on an oversized nearly 6,800 sq ft lot, the outdoor spaces feel like a private retreat in the middle of the city - lush greenery, mature landscaping, and a large grassy yard create plenty of room for hosting, relaxing, gardening, or letting your pets roam freely. Both the detached playroom, once home to the seller's late husband's baby grand piano and used as his private music studio, and the additional garage structure offer incredible flexibility and potential for creative work, a home office, gym, or future ADU possibilities. This gorgeous home isn't just a pretty face - updates include: central HVAC, newer dual pane windows, newer exterior doors, seismic foundation upgrades, updated electrical and plumbing, insulation, custom window coverings and newer landscaping. And beyond the home itself, there's something truly special about the sense of community here. Neighbors stop to chat while walking their dogs, friendly hellos are part of the daily rhythm, and the next door neighbor still talks about how much they'll miss the seller - a reflection of just how meaningful and connected life on this block has been.Just two blocks away, enjoy the local La Tijera Village businesses.
