From across the street you see half of a deceptively simple Tudor-style home, a two car garage, vines cascading down a wall, a thriving cactus and a majestic mature oak tree that conceals and shades the other half of the home. You have no idea of the magic that resides inside waiting for you.
It’s not every week you find a home so excellently reimagined and so stylishly updated. I couldn’t be more excited to show to you inside this enchanting nearly 2,000 square foot home.
Masterfully crafted and conceived by William Hunter Collective, this three bedroom is seriously breathtaking from start to finish. The living room boats a beautiful picture window with a view of your front yard and your oak tree, a stately fireplace, hardwood floors, and a classic chandelier with a bit of a modern twist.
The living rooms open to the kitchen. And what a kitchen it is! Truly show-stopping, jaw-dropping, bonkers beautiful.
The kitchen boasts soapstone counters, a large eat-in walnut island with sink, and hand painted Moroccan tile. The kitchen expertly flows out to the backyard and covered dining terrace through an expansive door system. Imagine opening this space up on a warm summer day and enjoying the mountain breeze.
I mean, can you believe?
Even if you’re not on the market for a home at the moment it’s worth it just to take a moment and gain some #kitchengoals. I know I certainly did when I saw the high style and design elements on display here.
Sorry, I was so excited to show you the kitchen I forgot this bright and spacious entry.
Each of the three bedrooms has unique design elements. For example, the first guest bedroom is situated in the original turret structure of the house and it makes for a truly one-of-a-kind sleeping arrangement.
The second bedroom is painted a delicious and calming pink and opens through large doors onto the terrace.
The two guest bedrooms share an impeccable bath that boasts a clawfoot tub and high-end finishes.
The master suite is a luxurious retreat painted a rich and royal dark blue. The master also has outdoor access through a pair of large doors.
And the kitchen didn’t quite make you fall in love, the master bath is sure to tip you over the edge. It features a quite amazing coved tile ceiling and a custom walnut vanity.
Plus a large soaking tub.
Back to the kitchen, you will see it completely opens to a vine covered pergola and Spanish tile deck.
The covered porch contains a lovely space for al fresco dining and entertaining.
There’s also a large grassy flat back yard perfect for summer picnics and ideal for dog owners.
And as if all that wasn’t enough, the property also houses a separate studio/workspace.
It’s an incredible spot for artists and at-home creatives that may have a team or frequent visiting collaborators.
All in all, 5222 Monte Bonito is one of the most impressive and memorable homes I’ve seen so far this year, and with its style and care, its bound to stay that way throughout 2019. Let’s go give it a look!
