Property Description
Nestled along the banks of the Arroyo Seco, 'The Villetta', crafted by architect Paul Loveland in 1924 as his personal abode and workspace, stands as a splendidly adorned Italian countryside retreat. Enveloped by a sun-drenched central courtyard, this residence exudes an aura of hospitality, boasting numerous architectural marvels: ornate wrought iron gates and balconies, solid oak doors adorned with studs, a meticulously carved stone fireplace, rich walnut beams, lofty cathedral ceilings, polished hardwood floors, and a modernized gourmet kitchen. The luminous master suite on the main level opens gracefully onto the secluded courtyard, while a welcoming guest suite also resides on this floor. Two additional bedrooms on the ground level, one with a private entrance, offer versatility suitable for older children or a caretaker. Thoughtful renovations have expanded the dwelling to include a spacious family room with a fireplace, an office/library equipped with extensive built-in shelving, an exercise studio, and a refrigerated wine cellar. Outside, the meticulously groomed grounds feature mature foliage, elegant fountains, ambient accent lighting, and quaint courtyards reminiscent of a traditional Mediterranean garden.
