About This Home

As of December 2013

Unbelievable opportunity! Assessor's maps show 30,540 sq. ft-lots 339 and 340. Cross over the bridge for the seasonal creek and roll up to this unpretentious 1938 country house. Although you are in the heart of the city, you feel like you are in the country. This Grande Dam is in her original condition since 1938, and needs some attention. The pool was added later. She has never been on the market, and has been in the same family. I am sure she has many stories to tell. She is surrounded by lovely lush greenery and mature trees where the hawks live. The living room is great for entertaining with a banquette setting area. At home mixologists will have fun with the built in bar across the hall from the telephone closet. Use the dumbwaiter that travels from the garage to the kitchen and dining room for your purchases.
