Nestled on a quiet street in San Marino's highly desirable Mission District, this English Cottage evokes the timeless charm of the countryside. With its steeply pitched roof, aged brick facade, and diamond-pane windows, the home radiates warmth and storybook appeal. A paver stone walkway meanders through lush flower beds to the inviting porch featuring arched wood beams that accent a vintage paneled door create a welcoming prelude to the home. Beyond the entry, built-in shelves and a petite view window lead into the dramatic living room, revealing soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, gleaming hardwood floors, anchored by a striking stone fireplace with raised hearth and rustic wood mantel. A French door opens to the side patio, blending indoor and outdoor living. The formal dining room, illuminated by an opaque glass chandelier and abundant natural light, opens to the sunny breakfast room featuring a wrought-iron chandelier adorned with hand-painted ceramic accents, walls of cabinetry, a convenient prep sink, and a tiled serving counter that connects seamlessly to the kitchen--perfect for casual meals or morning coffee. The functional kitchen is appointed with tiled countertop, matching backsplash, and custom cabinetry. A versatile mudroom with laundry and an adjoining three-quarter bath adds everyday convenience, while a side door opens to the paver driveway that leads to the detached garage. A central hallway leads to the home's private quarters, where one bedroom features a walk-in closet and French doors to the side patio. At the end of the hall, a flexible primary suite can be closed off for added privacy and offers double closets, tranquil views of the backyard, and a primary bath with dual sinks. A third bedroom doubles as an office or den, enhanced by built-in bookcases and French doors that open to a wisteria-draped pergola--an enchanting setting for dining al fresco. The private backyard unfolds as an oasis of relaxation and leisure, with a sparkling pool surrounded by lush hedges and mature trees, offering the perfect retreat for lounging by the water or gathering with friends on warm evenings.
