221 Jacaranda

Do not disturb occupants 1st time on the market in over 38 years! California Craftsman Bungalow on the beautiful Jacaranda tree lined street. Located in the Jacaranda/ Malvern/Brookdale Historic District she’s been lovingly maintained and restored to honor its architectural history. She is move-in ready. An artful expansion in 2000, was designed by celebrated local architect Jim McCann, & built by Foley Construction. The finish carpentry and custom cabinetry by the current owners, complements the original Craftsman features of this home. The original foundation under this 105 year old house was beyond repair. So, in 2024 she received a full foundation replacement (not a brace and bolt retrofit), completed by Professional Foundation Repair. The driveway in front is long enough for a couple of vehicles, including for a small RV with available dump station. Behind this home, is a two car garage/shop w/ paved alley access. In 2016, a large Craftsman style carport with motorized gate, also designed by Jim McCann and built by Foley Construction. This carport is large enough to park a 20 foot vehicle, and has an 8’5” height entry clearance. Within the fully fenced private backyard, you’ll experience a peaceful country garden, including a large 24” high raised garden bed with drip irrigation. Two fountains provide a tranquil and relaxing space for you to enjoy. If you feed them, a variety of birds will join you. Original Douglas Fir flooring in the living room and original bedrooms, and 3/4" Brazilian Cherry hardwood in the addition (kitchen to master bedroom). This home has a fully updated electrical system with a 200 amp service. There are ceiling fans in every room. Copper plumbing throughout, including a Whole House Salt-Free Water Conditioner/Softener, & a Reverse Osmosis faucet at the kitchen sink & refrigerator dispenser. In 2016, this home demanded it receive a new sewer main, so the 96 year old clay pipes were replaced with ABS and resin piping. The Lennox HVAC system has been regularly maintained by Service Champions. As you enter the front door, you'll be taken aback by the beautiful&majestic old brick fireplace in the living room. On the opposite end is the dining room with its original built-in china cabinet & built-in desk. Through the swinging door w/ inset glass panel, you’ll enter the kitchen, w/ it’s period custom cabinets, pantry, & all stainless steel appliances. Rest of Story in supplements
