Description of Property
HUGE PRICE REDUCTION!!! This remarkable historic Mediterranean Revival home is a highlight of the quiet Palma Sola Park neighborhood. Edwin Barnes, business partner to Thomas Edison, built and lived in this period home in 1925. The adjacent road, Senrab Drive was named after Barnes, but with the spelling reversed! This was the first house to be built on Palma Sola Boulevard and still retains many charming original features, and has been well maintained to accommodate modern living. Spacious inside and out, this beautiful, two-story 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath home sits on over half an acre of well maintained grounds. Recent updates include new tile roof, A/C, water heater, plumbing, patio doors, electrical, en-suite bathroom upgrade, new paint and landscaping. The original hardwood floors, archways, pillars, balconies, wood burning fireplace, crown molding, exquisite stained glass windows and wood beam ceilings let you step back in time!

This leads through to the family room and additional billiard/games room which includes the antique billiards table. An en-suite downstairs bedroom has direct access to the patio and pool. The front facing sunroom is currently used as an artists studio/office with large windows running along both exterior walls capturing perfect light and ambience.
