Property Details

Description

Nestled in the heart of the charming and historic Santa Clara Manor neighborhood, this beautifully updated home offers a rare blend of character, comfort, and timeless appeal. Originally built in 1951 by Murry Development, this residence began life as Plan C and was expanded by its original owner, Lee Hasenjaeger, in both 1954 & 1958. Set along a tree-lined street known for its pride of ownership and welcoming atmosphere, this home is ready to begin its next chapter. The current owners—a well-known chef and his wife—have lovingly enhanced the home with a stunning kitchen, updated bathrooms, new flooring, new windows, new plumbing and hvac, Tesla car charger, new stamped concrete and many more thoughtful upgrades. A winding pathway leads you to a cozy covered porch, setting the tone for what awaits inside. Step into a bright, open-concept living space featuring wide plank wood-grain flooring, a fire-lit living room, and seamless flow into the dining area and kitchen—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Plantation shutters and crown molding add a touch of classic elegance throughout. The kitchen is both beautiful and functional, offering abundant counter space and storage. Highlights include a Viking 4-burner cooktop with griddle and downdraft vent, plus included stainless steel refrigerator, washer, and dryer. Bathed in morning light, the kitchen connects to a convenient mudroom designed to keep everything organized. Additional spaces include a skylit office with built-in storage and a safe, and a comfortable TV room overlooking the backyard. The primary bedroom features mirrored closets with custom organization and direct access to a relaxing spa. Two additional bedrooms sit along the side of the home. Outdoors, enjoy a private backyard retreat complete with a covered pergola and built-in Jenair BBQ—ideal for gatherings year-round. A large Tuff Shed tucked behind the garage offers flexible space. The garage includes extensive built-in storage, even showcasing original metal kitchen cabinetry for a touch of vintage charm. Set in the highly walkable Park Santiago neighborhood, the home is just moments from the renovated Santiago Park. Here you'll find a wide array of amenities including tennis and pickle ball courts, lawn bowling, a baseball diamond, bike trails, fitness paths, and play areas. Freshly painted and thoughtfully updated, this home combines historic charm with modern convenience in one of the area’s most beloved neighborhoods.

"My Mom passed away 1/31/21 needless to say it was a very difficult time for me. I needed help selling my mothers home. I reached out to Ever and he stepped up big! From the beginning he was a true professional great communication skills, great attitude, always made time for me and answered any questions I had. He showed compassion for my situation and went above and beyond to make things as easy as possible for me. Go with Ever you won’t regret it!"

"I worked with Ever through the process of an Estate Sale and sale of a condominium. Throughout the experience he and his team were extremely helpful. I had never been involved with an estate sale previously and was working with the additional factor of not being local. After an initial meeting I was able to deal with he and his team remotely which simplified the entire process and experience. Any questions or issues I had were very quickly addressed and resolved. My entire experience was very positive. Thank You!"

"Ever was simply excellent. He is thorough, approachable and very knowledgable of the house buying process. We appreciated his manner and help throughout our purchase process - he never made us feel pressured to select a house and helped us find a perfect match. He was especially helpful when we needed to juggle urgent travel during the Escrow process, helping us set up power of attorney. We would recommend Ever to any type of buyer and will certainly use him for any future real estate needs that we have."
