A portrait of quintessential California cottage style, this ultra-chic 3BD/2BA home on a 0.32-acre lot dazzles with design details exuding comfort and cool. A meticulous renovation showcases beautiful natural textures with thoughtful storage seamlessly integrated throughout. In the kitchen, striking Viola marble counters complement the earthy hues of custom painted hunter green cabinetry set alongside white oak and rattan cabinetry with paneled appliances and a sleek Bertazzoni six-burner gas range. A prep sink, solid brass hardware, two appliance garages, and polished nickel faucets - including a pot filler and instant hot/cold filtered water - are among the other thoughtful touches. This jewel box chef's kitchen, with plentiful pantry storage, is flanked by a cheery custom banquette with seating swathed in a pale blue cabana-striped performance fabric. A built-in desk or bar with beverage fridge transitions seamlessly into the naturally well-lit living area with fireplace, and bamboo floors underfoot round out the luminous great room.

The serene bathrooms were also designed with attention to detail: wall-to-wall zellige tiles join warm lighting and glazed concrete vanities for a spa-like effect. Nearly every room connects to the lush, green wraparound grounds, which feature drought-tolerant native plantings with custom uplighting and a collection of mature fruit trees - loquat, fig, orange, mandarin, guava, lemon, and cherimoya. Self-watering, smart water irrigation throughout garden, controllable by app ensures seamless maintenance. Abundant windows looking out in all directions to the surrounding landscaping and mature trees gives the feeling of being in a private, garden retreat.

Complete with a two-car garage, equipped with 220 voltage for EV charging. Located near highly-acclaimed Monte Vista Elementary, parks, and the dozens of shopping and dining options along Upper State Street, this unique home offers a not-to-be-missed opportunity to own a tranquil, thoughtfully designed San Roque gem.
