Some Del Cerro homes are kept up. Others get to say fully remodeled. This one gets to say both...with thoughtful intention, warmth, and a whole lot of love. WHAT WE LOVE: There is a big difference between a home improved by people who actually loved living there and a home that was updated for resale. Thats the difference you feel at 5641 Genoa Dr, where preserved character, thoughtful upgrades, and inviting indoor/outdoor living all work together. Original details like the stained-glass window, small-plank red oak floors, and Stars & Cross Cotto red clay tile hearth bring showpiece warmth and personality, while the wood mantel frames the living area with timeless character. Major updates give most rooms a fresh, elevated feel. The remodeled kitchen features counter-to-ceiling herringbone backsplash, matte gold hardware, custom cabinetry, and a semi-open layout that connects naturally to the living areas while still preserving a dedicated dining room. The primary bath has been beautifully redone with a calm, spa-like feel, textured hex tile, and thoughtful niche details. Outside, this courtyard home offers a private garden patio courtyard, kept the lawn for multiple usable outdoor spaces, and a mini orchard with lemon, lime, peach, and tangerine trees. Additional highlights include motorized blinds, solar, divided-light dual-pane windows, a large deep two-car garage with updated door, dedicated laundry room, and a convenient half bath near the garage/laundry area. WHAT WE LOVE (CONT...) The story of this home is balance. It has been meaningfully remodeled without losing the character that makes it feel grounded, warm, and personal. The preserved stained-glass window is a perfect example: rather than remove the original detail, the owners kept it and designed around it, allowing the homes history to remain part of the experience. The kitchen is one of the strongest updates in the home, with a floor-to-ceiling herringbone backsplash, matte gold hardware, upgraded cabinetry, and a layout that opens the space without turning the entire floor plan into one oversized room. The dedicated dining room remains intact, giving the home a classic and practical rhythm for dinners, holidays, homework, work-from-home overflow, or simply having a real room where people can gather. The primary bath brings a completely different energy: quiet, peaceful, and refined. The textured hex tile adds depth and interest, while the elongated niche details give the space a custom feel. It is the kind of bathroom remodel that feels intentional rather than trendy. The outdoor spaces are a major part of the homes appeal. The private courtyard creates a tucked-away retreat, while the backyard offers multiple usable zones rather than one flat patio moment. There are two separate hardscaped areas plus a backyard lawn, mini orchard includes lemon, lime, peach, and tangerine trees, adding color, function, and everyday charm. A flowering redbud tree and mature greenery help
