Work of art is an understatement for this one of a kind Fontana home that will transport you back in time. Mid-century modern meets Arte de Mexico in the heart of Fontana. This nearly 2,400 square foot home was constructed in the 1950s and custom built to perfection. The attention to detail begins the second you open the front door…you notice what you may think is a coat closet but with a keen eye you will actually see that it is a retro bar! Into the formal living room is a large wood-burning fireplace, original plank hardwood floors that run throughout the entire home and large windows that span throughout the living and dining space. The open formal living and dining room space feature built in bookshelves and an immense amount of natural light. Tucked behind accordion sliding doors just off the dining room is a cozy den adorned with cork flooring and beautiful woodwork paneling up the walls. The den also has a powder room and narrow windows facing the front yard. The fact that the bones of the kitchen remains in its original form with some appliance upgrades of course is unheard of. The natural wood paneling continues in the kitchen along with terracotta flooring gives an authentic mid-century Mexico vibe. Modern dark cabinetry matches the accent beams of the ceiling and rustic dutch door leading outside. There is an old school two-way wood burning barbeque that has access from inside the kitchen and just outside the home. The kitchen includes a breakfast nook for more casual dining. All three bedrooms are beautiful, large, filled with sunlight from the massive windows, and continue the immaculate plank wood flooring throughout. Both guest bedrooms have plenty of closet space and share a spacious bathroom with a separate shower and tub. The primary bedroom has doors on both sides of the home giving access to the living area and to the hallway that leads to the bedroom quarters as well as two large closets. The en-suite bathroom is like stepping back into time, with a separate shower and bathtub. The backyard is iconic – it is nearly impossible to find a pool like this one anywhere else today. The backyard features a pergola off of the living room, citrus trees, tons of greenery, brick pavers leading to a vignette for outdoor dining that winds around to the boomerang-shaped pool that wraps around the side of the house glittering under the California sun. This home is so special, once you walk in you will never forget about it. Don’t miss out!
