This is a truly magical place to be. A beautiful 1922 California Bungalow set on an oversized lot with expansive gardens boasting over twenty organic, mature fruit trees. Native and drought-tolerant plants abound, attracting wild birds and setting the tone for sustainable living. Pathways lead one through the front gardens to an inviting front porch. Entering the main house, one is immediately drawn to the spacious open floor plan, abundant natural light streaming into the living room and the gleaming newly refinished Oak floors.

A generous dining area is adjacent to the kitchen and looks out to the back yard gardens through French doors. A convenient alcove is perfect for a home office. The owner's suite is located at the back of the house and opens onto forest-like views with plenty of light, a full bath and separate shower and water closet. Two additional bedroom and a bath are at the front of the house.
