The Space:
Built in 1908 by Edward Frank, this house is a prime example of Queen Anne styling. Originally a two-bedroom, one-bath home, it has since been renovated and remodeled, with the project being completed in early 2023. The house is now about 1600 sq-ft with three bedrooms and two and a half baths. All of the appliances and most of the furniture are brand new as of 2023, making for a comfortable and modern living experience.
The first level of the house features the living room, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom, master bath, and guest bath. Upon entering, one may feel as though they have been transported back in time to a year when the Wright Brothers were showcasing their flying machine and Ford's first Model T was coming off the assembly line. The majority of the doors, windows, and wood trim on this level are original to the house's construction in 1908. The interior doors retain their original locks, complete with skeleton keys, while the windows, many of which feature classic wavy glass, operate via ropes, pulleys, and weights. All of these have been meticulously renovated. Even the wood floors have stood the test of time, remaining original to the house's construction.
The living room features a large, comfortable leather sofa and a large high-definition TV, perfect for relaxation and entertainment.
The dining room is characterized by its impressive size and the prominently placed original built-in china cabinet. A large dining room table with benches can comfortably seat 6 adults.
The kitchen is sleek and modern, with a gas stove with double gas oven, microwave, large refrigerator, dishwasher, hot water kettle, coffee maker, toaster, and everything you need to make a fabulous meal. The kitchen countertops are made of concrete and recycled glass. The kitchen island has a small seating area and the countertop itself has a feature that is guaranteed to wow guests.
The master bedroom is of medium size and features a comfortable king-size bed with a range of pillow options. Guests can enjoy the 42” high-def TV and make use of the spacious master closet with plenty of shelves for storage. The master bath is stunning. Guests can choose to re-energize in the spectacular slate shower using locally made shampoo, conditioner, and body wash products or relax in the original clawfoot bathtub that has been renovated. The bathroom’s electrically heated floor is bound to keep feet happy in the wintertime. Soft luxurious towels are provided.
The upstairs is newly constructed and includes a laundry room, a beautiful full-size bathroom, a reading room/study, two large bedrooms with comfortable queen-size beds and ample pillow options. Both rooms feature closets with plenty of shelves for storage, but no TV.
A playroom is connected to Bedroom 3 through a 2' wide passage (but no door). The playroom is 9' wide and about 10' long. The ceiling is pitched and is about 6' tall along the center of the room. This room can be converted to a sleeping area by installing a queen-size air mattress. This is a cute area and kids would love to sleep there, but two tall adults might find getting out of bed a bit awkward.
There is a supply of books, toys, and vintage board games to entertain guests. The upstairs has some playful features that will delight guests and children alike. Some of these features are not immediately obvious. Curious minds will discover them during their stay.
The house has central air conditioning/heating for guests' comfort and high-speed internet (2.5 and 5G) is provided. All TVs are smart, but guests need to log into their own account to watch their programs.
Both levels of the house have a variety of interesting art displayed. This VRBO is promoting local artists by giving them an opportunity to show their art in a home setting. A professional art curator was involved in the selection and placement of the art. Most of the art on display is for sale commission-free. Details of the art and the seven local artists are available in the Casa de los Artistas manual.
Guests can enjoy their morning beverage in the large private backyard with a deck and patio furniture, as well as seating under a huge majestic shade tree.
Restrictions: No cats. Other pets will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
