Property Description
An incredible opportunity to own the prestigious RA Cox House. Designed by C. Lewis Kelley in 1925, this incredible adobe home sits on a 20,000+ sf IRRIGATED lot in the heart of the Alvarado and Los Olivos Historic Districts downtown. The current owners stayed true to the home's Spanish Colonial architecture, with beamed ceilings, wood floors and oversized moldings that will take your breath away. All the windows have been restored with dual-paned custom windows that mimic the original design, style and size; while the wood floors have been painstakingly restored. An expansion to the back of the home-made way to a gorgeous family room, with a beehive fireplace taking center stage. Just steps away is the gourmet kitchen, featuring an eat-in dining area, breakfast bar, top of the line

appliances, gorgeous Soapstone countertops and plenty of cabinets. The adjacent dining room features crown molding with a gorgeous arched window looking out onto the expansive front lawn.
Speaking of lawn: While this home does still retain coveted irrigation rights, the Owners have recently had an all-new sprinkler system installed in the front. In the back, you'll find a glass tiled pool with updated decking set amidst a plethora of citrus trees. An organic gardening area, nicely sized back lawn, and a covered patio complete the oasis.
All of this can be seen from the expansive master retreat via the wall of French doors. The light-filled room features a hard-to-find, highly coveted walk in closet that is sure to knock your socks off. Which is fine, there's tons of space in it for socks, boots, and so much more!
Two additional bedrooms share an updated bathroom, which features a glass-and-pebble state of the art steam shower. Both rooms are large with stunning windows.
Upstairs, you'll find yourself admiring the view and feeling like you're in a tree house in its own separate bedroom with its own bathroom. This room will surely cause a fight among all members of the household: Dibs on who gets it and whether it will be a Man Cave, She Shed, or Favorite Kid's Room...
Don't worry: Whoever doesn't get it can opt to snag the basement: Set up as a movie room, it can do double duty as an exercise room, or the Man Cave, She Shed or Favorite Kid's Room from above.
The garage has 220 amp service and a sewer line to corner of garage. Would make a great pool house, artist studio, or leave as is. There's TONS of storage inside it as well as inside the home and the drive easily fits 15 cars.
Recently painted inside and out, the home has also been treated to a new walk out foam roof, has high capacity AC units, updated sewer lines, and so much more.
Reduced property taxes convey with the home thanks to its Historic Home Tax status, while the prestige of this home and the history of its owner and status within the community remain always.
