Designated a Historic Landmark and Mills Actapproved for substantial property tax savings, the home beautifully romanticizes Californias historic ties to Spain and Mexico. Grand curb appeal sets the tone, leading to an enclosed entryway and a richly detailed interior featuring an open-beam living room with original Spanish blue trim, extensive magnesite flooring, and a cozy fireplace.
