Historic architecture meets beautifully updated living at the Robert Martindale House, designed by celebrated architect Atlee B. Ayres. Set on approximately three-quarters of an acre in Monte Vista, this distinctive estate showcases 7,461 square feet of living space, complemented by a pool and spa, basement with bar, separate garage apartment, and four-car garage. An expansive tiled front porch creates a welcoming introduction and a lovely setting for relaxing or gathering with friends. A distinctive green Ludowici tile roof further enhances the home's historic character, with an existing roof warranty through 2028. Updated living spaces, wood floors, tall ceilings, and exceptional architectural detail carry throughout the historic home. A fireplace warms the living room, while a double-sided fireplace connects the spectacular dining room and office or additional living room. The dining room's wood paneling and dramatic ceiling create an elegant setting for memorable dinner parties, and a breakfast room accommodates more intimate meals. The showstopper kitchen features walnut cabinetry, a wine fridge, soapstone countertops, double islands, and a wall of marble behind the 60" Thermador range. A separate butler's pantry houses a second dishwasher, ice maker, and sink. Separate his/hers guest bathrooms provide added convenience on the first floor. The primary bedroom includes a fireplace and built-in bookcase, and the rest of the suite features a mirrored dressing room with a center island and extensive built-ins. The marble-lined bathroom features a freestanding tub, separate glass-enclosed steam shower, and double vanity. A laundry room with a large sink, marble countertops and ample storage is steps away. A sunny tiled sitting room off of the primary suite boasts a fridge, dishwasher, sink, and plenty of space to enjoy a morning coffee. Two other large bedrooms with ensuite marble-lined bathrooms are on the second floor. The spacious third floor features four built-in bunks, a coffee bar, an updated full bathroom, a TV lounge area, balcony access with city views, and a cedar-lined closet. The basement with a private bar adds another inviting space for entertaining, along with ample storage. Outside, a large new pool and hot tub are complemented by a gazebo. A separate renovated garage apartment with kitchen, bath, and laundry provides space for guests or continued long-term rental use. The garage apartment is currently tenant-occupied on a month-to-month lease. The garage apartment photos predate the current tenancy and the addition of an oven and refrigerator/freezer. The four-car garage provides ample parking. An additional bathroom with a shower and a separate outdoor storage room are easily accessible poolside. The 7,461 square feet of living space does not include the basement bar or basement storage, the garage apartment, four-car garage, poolside bathroom or poolside storage room. Extensive updates and restorations include repainting all exteriors and interiors, kitchen expansion with Thermador appliances, gas logs in all fireplaces, landscaping, copper gutters, updated air-conditioning units and renovated bathrooms and laundry room. With its generous gathering spaces, thoughtful renovations, and distinctive historic character, the Martindale House is ready for its next chapter.
