A bougainvillea-lined drive and hand-crafted double gate welcome you to a private and secluded Belmont Heights Hacienda. This dramatic open-concept home with soaring wood-beamed ceilings can’t wait to meet you! In 2003 the current owner took this 1932 home down to the studs and added square footage: Electrical, plumbing, slab work, enlarging and re-envisioning the upstairs with the addition of master suite and expansive wrap-around balcony patio. The professional chef’s kitchen is perfect for casual entertaining and serious cooking! It boasts top-end appliances, Wolfe 6-burner stove, grill and storage, double commercial refrigerator. There’s a large central island of polished concrete with prep sink, warming drawer and seating. Plus, there is a rustic 8-person table bathed in sunlight with windows embracing the gentle sea breezes. Saltillo Paver flooring and classic Mexican Talavera tiles accent the Spanish-like charm. The kitchen opens to a wonderful and roomy living and dining room with ceilings of massive wooden beams, hardwood flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, a projection TV with full-wall retractable screen, and 2 double French doors to the relaxing rear patio. There is a bar area with wine cooler plus a wine cellar room with its hobbit-style door that’s perfect for fine wine storage.

Off the kitchen there’s a pantry, and a huge, tall garage with room for 2 cars tandem, workshop, oodles of storage and included freezer, washer/dryer. A dramatic stairway takes you upstairs to a large inviting wraparound balcony patio, ready for relaxed year-round entertaining.
