Reminiscent of the Spanish Franciscan missions of the 17th and 18th Centuries the Mission Revival style was part of the Arts and Crafts movement of the early part of the 20th Century.

Simple lines with smooth stucco walls, half rounded windows, and shallow sloped tile roofs define this architectural style.  Interiors often had curved corners, coved ceilings and archways, wood beams and clay tile floors.

Elements of the Mission Revival style are evident throughout this newly constructed (pre-mansionization ordinance) home: from the carved wooded front door framed by a shallow archway to the decorative dark wooden corbels supporting the overhanging eaves.

The stately pink blossom tree surrounded by a colorful bed of flowers adds to the graciousness of this picturesque structure.

Defining the formal living room are high soffit ceilings accented with richly stained crown molding in place of the heavy wood beams found in a traditional Mission Revival home.  Interior windows are framed with richly stained molding that compliments the unpolished limestone floors gracing the entire first level.

Arches, arches, arches are a Mission Revival statement found in the entry to the formal dining room, center hallway and the family room/kitchen/informal dining area.

Like the formal living room, soffit ceilings over the kitchen and family rooms are accented with richly stained crown molding.  Prepare a Fiesta in the large cook’s kitchen with huge center isle.  Six burner cook top, separate area for grilling, two dishwashers, and huge open sink are part of the elaborate kitchen.  Cabinets are enriched by carved molding and frames. Lots of storage drawers and wine rack and two walk in pantries.

Wrought iron handrails leading to the second floor are a decorative element of the Mission Revival style as well as arched niches and windows.  Polished hardwood floors adorn the entire upper level.

Each of the five bedrooms is en-suite with bathrooms of distinctive slate or tumble tile walls. All bedrooms are a generous size with ample closets. Double doors open into the sumptuous master suite that overlooks the oval pool and spa.  The dual sided fireplace adds warmth and a cozy feel to the sitting area on one side and spa tub on the other. The relaxing steam shower with double jets and rain shower add a touch of luxury as well as the spacious walk in closet with center dressing isle.

This Mission Revival inspired home is truly one of sophistication and grace.
