This ARTSY HOMESTEAD in CORONADO was the first property (aka the ''Homestead'') in the collection of parcels named Los Olivos, built inside what is now the heart of the Coronado Historic District. Nestled near the soon-to-be completed bike and pedestrian artery of midtown, the Oak St bike lane, this unique artist pad and charming redwood construction, two-story rambler is one-of-a-kind. The studio out-building is perfect for an artist space or extra home office or gym, AND with water and sewer hook ups right outside the studio perimeter, it's easy access to convert to something more. There are many coveted design features inside, but what makes this house so special is abundant light t/o, and the custom art built in in nearly every space, inside & out. Note the custom polished glass kitchen countertop, (with custom mood lighting inside!), the blue glass inlay detailing in the downstairs den/guest bedroom doorway, the custom glass dining fixture, and the whimsical hand blown art along the extended 4 car carport, all sure to bring joy. Additional coveted features include the Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring t/o, the new high quality vinyl plank flooring in the den/guest bedroom, new interior paint in nearly every room, upgraded crown moulding, custom iron fence around the entire front yard, with 8 ft tall stunning art piece that doubles as a security gate, mature well-maintained Mesquite tree for shade, coveted front porch stoop, and added uncovered front and side redbrick-pavered patios for entertaining, skylights in both the main house and art studio, a WORKING swamp cooler and well-maintained HVAC system (2011)(heat runs on gas), ABS sewer line from the house to the alley, newer electrical t/o, including a 200 amp panel with Romex, copper plumbing t/o, a newer roof (2008), and blown-in supplemental insulation in the attic. The owner took meticulous care of this house, and it SHOWS. If you are into eclectic and fun design features and want to live in a unique character-filled home that can stand the test of time, this is IT!! Note: total square footage does NOT include studio out-building!
