Inside, you're greeted by a warm, spacious living room anchored by a brick fireplace. The elegant wood paneling adds a touch of sophistication, making it the perfect spot to host friends or relax on a quiet evening with your favorite show. The formal dining room offers an ideal space for joyful meals. Just beyond, the kitchen exudes vintage charm and the whole house showcases gorgeous original detailing including hardwood floors, moldings, wainscotting, built-ins, and more. Two cheerful bedrooms are filled with light and they share a spacious bath. The gated backyard includes an enchanted garden where you'll find a wisteria-covered arbor, rock roses, loquats, Jerusalem Thorn tree, trumpet flowers, and concord grape vines. Front and rear grassy areas along with a back-covered patio create wonderful opportunities for entertaining and a newly installed sister foundation offers peace of mind. At 834 E Ladera, you're embraced by thoughtful design, inviting spaces, and rich craftsman architecture, all of which combine to create a true sense of home.
