Originally built in 1952 by Floyd Rogers this charming cottage style home reminds me of old Laguna or Carmel, playful and joyous. Built with quality and integrity it should qualify for historic status and possible Mills Act. Low water landscaping conceals a front sitting area that is shady in the afternoon. Floating steps lead to a small front porch with its modern elements and original architecture. The happy colors reflect midcentury style. Stepping inside a small entry echos the past with original wall paper and a coat closet. The light & bright Living room has a bay window looking to the courtyard seating area. Can you see your Christmas tree here? The original brick fireplace has a mantle with integrated open shelves and rounded corners stylistically used in the late 1940's. Original hardwood floors are in most rooms. A formal dining room opens to the Living and is a perfect spot for holiday dinners. Next is the vintage kitchen with playful updates including a bold paint job that matches the original tile trim. The sunny kitchen overlooks the back yard, has a Fridgidaire 5 burner stainless stove, hood, fridge and a cozy nook. Armstrong checker board tile. The laundry room connects the kitchen to the enclosed patio and backyard. It has a deep sink and storage. All 3 bedrooms
