A SAN PEDRO CLASSIC! This true-to-form 1925 California Craftsman-style home, complete with a charming guest cottage, is situated on an elevated lot in the desirable Vista Del Oro neighborhood. You’ll be captivated from the moment you arrive, and it only gets better once you step inside this special home. Make your way up the stairs and through the lushly landscaped front yard to the inviting entry door, where the vintage hardware remains in place. Step inside to an open and light-filled living area that includes a living room with a painted brick fireplace, a spacious dining area and a comfortable sitting area positioned to enjoy views of the mountains, city lights, Vincent Thomas Bridge and LA Harbor. Multiple large windows fill the space with natural light, while original oak hardwood floors extend throughout the interior and preserve the home’s timeless character. Next is the charming kitchen, offering a wonderful blend of vintage style and modern functionality. Checkerboard flooring, tile counters and original cabinetry create a classic feel, while newer, high-quality stainless steel appliances provide today’s conveniences. The main hallway, illuminated by a skylight, leads to the classic bathroom featuring original cabinetry and cheerful yellow ceramic tile finishes. Both bedrooms are comfortably sized, with the primary bedroom offering French doors that open to the large covered patio. An indoor laundry room completes the interior and provides added convenience. Beyond the spacious patio is a rear yard with the look and feel of an English garden, featuring a lawn area, attractive shrubs, fruit trees and a meandering pathway leading to the cozy guest cottage. This inviting space features a built-in bunk, closet, three-quarter bath and large windows overlooking the beautiful garden. It could also be ideal as a home office, creative retreat or artist’s studio. Another private patio framed by mature foliage and a storage shed complete the rear yard. A one-car detached garage sits at the end of the long driveway, while alley access behind the home offers potential for RV parking. Rainy weather is no concern—a new dimensional shingle roof has just been installed. Additional functional upgrades include a retrofitted foundation, upgraded electrical service, copper plumbing, window A/C units, an automatic irrigation system and custom window coverings. This property presents an opportunity to own a distinctive piece of San Pedro history. DON’T MISS IT!
