Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) Clad in a smooth stucco finish, this one-story residence displays the trademark features of the Spanish Colonial-revival style. Featuring an asymmetrical composition and rectangular plan, the residence is capped by a cross-gable and flat roof, clad in red tiles and terminating in shallow open eaves with thin bargeboards. Extending west, the roof is flat, trimmed with a stepped parapet wall accented at the top with a molded cornice. A covered patio with broad arched openings shelters the wood entry, which displays six lights. The entrance is elevated on three steps and accessed via a curved walkway. A low, curving retaining wall, which encloses a fountain, fronts the faqade's north half. The tripartite window design on both bays of the faqade consists of a fixed pane window flanked by rectangular double-hung sashes, with two horizontal and two vertical muntins. An arched transom divided into four lights caps the window. The muntin pattern is repeated in the wood-framed, double-hung sash windows lining the north elevation. Centered in the north elevation gable is an attached, stucco-clad chimney with a flared base accented with three recessed arches. The chimney is topped with a band of vertically laid brick. The north elevation is also punctuated by a tower and pentagonal bay. The tower features a hipped, red-tile roof and broad arched openings, which lead to a secondary entrance elevated on three steps. The tower's second story is accented by three small recessed niches with decorative sills and detailing beneath. The projecting pentagonal bay marks the northwestern side of the property. Each of its five bays are filled with one-over-one double-hung sash windows and a glass entry, all of which display the muntin pattern used on the faqade and north elevation windows. Alterations include the addition of a retaining wall and fountain in the property's northwestern corner; the alterations are compatible with the original style and scale of the house. In excellent repair, the residence is otherwise highly intact. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2. Single-family Property *P4.
