A rare offering blending modern luxury, thoughtful design, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living Tucked away on a generous, sun-filled lot, 619 Ashbury presents a beautifully reimagined single-story residence blending modern design with effortless California living. This thoughtfully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is complemented by a detached studio, offering flexible space for work, creativity, or guests. Inside, a bright open floorplan unfolds with refinished hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and elevated finishes throughout. The chef’s kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring new stainless steel appliances—including refrigerator, stove, range hood, and dishwasher—alongside sleek Silestone countertops and a striking monolithic backsplash. Functional cabinetry with pullout organizers, brushed gold fixtures, pendant lighting, and an eat-in bar create a space that is both beautiful and highly functional, accented by a dimensional tile feature wall. Both bathrooms have been exquisitely renovated. The hall bath showcases a large antique porcelain soaking tub, separate glass-enclosed shower with a rain head, digital valve, and handwand, plus a modern wood vanity, lighted anti-fog mirror, and designer emerald tile with Silestone shelving. The primary ensuite offers a spa-like retreat with a Silestone bench shower, custom tilework, and refined bronze fixtures throughout. The primary bedroom opens directly to the backyard deck through French doors, while additional bedrooms are light-filled and well-appointed, including one with a generous double-door closet. Modern upgrades include refreshed electrical panels, a dedicated side-by-side laundry closet, and new bronze hardware inside and out, paired with stylish gooseneck exterior lighting. The detached studio* is a standout feature—light-filled with French doors opening on two sides to the surrounding yard, recessed lighting, and updated luxury vinyl flooring—ideal for a home office, gym, or guest retreat. Set on an expansive 8,350 sq. ft. level lot, the outdoor space is an urban farmer’s dream. Enjoy eight large vegetable planters, two mature loquat trees, drought-tolerant landscaping, shade sails, and new driveway and entry hardscaping—creating a private, versatile setting for relaxation, gardening, and entertaining.
