About This Home

As of October 2021

Set back from the street, 4830 Congress has nearly been rebuilt from the ground up over the years, with 4828 being completed in 2021. The stylish family room with concrete floors and Audre Lorde spilling into the space was well designed and a place to gather for family and friends. This whimsical home embraces the sunlight from every direction that enhances the blend of the old and then new. With Ash wood floors, high ceilings, the custom artistic touches can be felt throughout. The main home offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a spacious loft. The newly constructed ADU has its own kitchen and full bathroom. The zen garden has raised beds, many fruit trees and a passion vine perfectly covering the custom outdoor table, dinners in the stars have been a regular occasion. It is a magical and quiet place to relax and enjoy the birds and bees flirting with the flowers in season. Imagine working from home in the detached office that looks out onto it all.
