Built in 1951.
Loved into now.
4036 Loma Alta is the kind of home that does the heavy lifting for you. The bones — floor-to-ceiling windows that pour light into the living room, original oak floors, plaster walls with their soft hand — were already here. The current owners focused on the updates that matter most.
The bathroom is new — Kohler and Clé throughout. The fireplace is a freestanding Malm Zircon, the genuine midcentury cone — and it stays with the house. The backyard was fully redesigned with apache pink decomposed granite, drip irrigation, and a Palm Springs-style cactus garden. Multiple seating areas make the most of a larger-than-average lot — a hammock and room to spread out.
It's a small house that lives bigger than its footprint. Between the permitted garage conversion, the outdoor space, and the light that fills every room, it gives you more than the numbers suggest.
