About This Home

As of July 2022

Set deep on a 10,911 sq ft lot, behind a majestic California Live Oak tree, sits this storybook English Cottage style home, rich with original details. A welcoming front door is your passport to this home's old world charm. A generous living room with stone fireplace surround features vaulted ceilings, sun filled windows and floor to ceiling bookcases. Off the living room is a cozy study perfect for quiet reflection. The formal dining room offers space for large family gatherings. The efficient kitchen is well appointed and includes an office nook and adjacent laundry. The third bedroom, currently used as a family room, opens directly to the back patio, BBQ, pool, and garden. A secluded master suite has large windows overlooking the back garden and French doors opening onto the patio. The grounds include mature fruit trees, roses, and many exotic species of flora. Discretely placed Solar panels generate 3.2 Kilowatts of power, half the home owners total electrical use.
