This classic 1936 Lyon Village Colonial is a timeless beauty that seamlessly combines historic charm with modern luxury. The thoughtful updates make this four-bedroom, three-full-and-one-half-bathroom home a haven for contemporary living across its four levels.   Upon entering, the foyer welcomes you with an original staircase that exudes character. To the right, an impressive and sunlit living room awaits, boasting a gas fireplace and French doors that beckon you to the lush gardens. To the left, a formal dining room sets the stage for elegant gatherings, comfortably accommodating a party of 10.   The heart of the home lies in the expansive chef's kitchen, adorned with high-end inset cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. A spacious casual dining area and a mudroom leading to the garage add practicality to the aesthetic.   Ascend to the top level, and the primary bedroom awaits, with cathedral ceilings, an ensuite bath featuring a Japanese soaking tub and stall shower, and a walk-in closet. This retreat is a sanctuary of comfort and style.   The second level hosts three sizable bedrooms, one of which boasts a screened-in outdoor balcony, offering a perfect spot for enjoying fresh air and quiet time. A full bath with a double vanity and tub completes this level.   The lower level has been transformed into a versatile space, featuring a family room, an office area, a full bath, and laundry and storage area. It's a haven for relaxation, work, and daily chores.   Throughout the home, gorgeous oak flooring adds warmth and character, beautifully updated and maintained to preserve its classic allure. The systems have all been updated for maximum efficiency, including the addition of Tesla solar panels and Tesla powerwall batteries—providing substantial free electricity and also backup power in case the power goes out—a nod to sustainable living.   Step outside, and the delight continues with meticulously landscaped gardens boasting an irrigation system. A flagstone seating area, a pergola-enclosed alfresco dining space, and extensive hardscaping create an outdoor oasis. The one-car garage with custom doors adds both convenience and charm to the property.   This Lyon Village Colonial is a masterclass in timeless elegance and thoughtful modernization, offering a harmonious blend of historic charm and contemporary living.
