About 4820 Vista Street
Some homes have character. This one has a story. North of Adams Ave and a short stroll to the village of Kensington, this 1926, 3-bedroom/1.5 bath Spanish bungalow with a bonus 1-bd/1ba studio casita is the kind of home that you'll never want to leave. There is a warmth here, a sense that this home was genuinely loved, that every updated luxury detail was chosen with care and intention. The courtyard is shared with the main house and a fully equipped casita with a studio layout, kitchenette, and full bath, ready to welcome guests, house extended family, or generate short or long-term rental income. It is a thoughtful bonus that adds both flexibility and real value to an already exceptional property. As you walk in the main house, the living spaces draw you in immediately. Rich white oak hardwood floors with mahogany inlay, dramatic arched focal windows that frame the outside world like a painting, and custom wrought iron details accenting the archways toward the dining room. Custom wood plantation shutters soften the afternoon light. Built-in shelving with stained glass accents lines the walls, and an original Batchelder tile fireplace anchors the space, a rare and treasured piece of American Arts and Crafts history you simply cannot find in new construction. This is a home you will want to come back to every single day. The kitchen is where the artistry of this home really comes alive. Picture yourself cooking on a Bertazzoni Italian 6-ring gas stove beneath a hand-sculpted custom hood, surrounded by custom cabinetry, Azul granite countertops, and a hand-painted Spanish mu
