About This Home

As of August 2022

This adorable bungalow was constructed on a knoll top in 1948 & offers open hillside views & privacy. The original details still set the flavor of the home, now with upgraded kitchen & bathroom. There are 2BR & 1Ba, living room w/fireplace & dining area in the kitchen. Additionally, there is a laundry pantry off the kitchen, a multi-purpose shed in the backyard & a 1-car detached garage. The property offers various garden areas, from the terraced planting beds by the front door, and the large deck in the backyard. The tiered garden by the front gate has a welcoming lushness, including various fruit trees (peach, pomegranate, fig) & blackberry patches spotted throughout the yards. The deck is perfect for entertaining guests & family w/ a wonderful mix of sun & shade from a large tree. The multipurpose shed w/ double French doors, opens up onto the deck, a private and serene environment, making it a perfect place for a yoga studio, art studio, kid's playhouse or home office.
