As of August 2018Can't get much better than this utterly charming, craftsman-era, 1920's home w/jaw-dropping 15K sq ft of garden paradise, sitting on one of the prettiest Eastside streets. Your quintessential mini-farm in the heart of the Banana Belt, w/white picket fence, water-wise gardens, raised beds, fruit and citrus trees, garden shed w/electricity, outbuildings and studio space. Bright and gracious living and dining spaces reminiscent of a by-gone era. High ceilings, hardwood flrs, tall windows, built-in cabinetry. Refreshed w/updated cabinets, granite counters, updated baths, central heating and air. Solar electricity, solar hot water, 865-gallon rainwater tank, and automatic driveway gate w/nearby receptacle for your electric car. A very neighbor-friendly, walkable neighborhood, w/your choice of Midtown eateries, grocery stores and coffee shops nearby, or bike to downtown shops and theaters. Detached, 2-car garage w/adjacent hm office or guest quarters. Now this is what I call HOME!
