About This Home
Beyond the white picket fence, a thoughtfully landscaped front yard welcomes you home, where magnolia blossoms, citrus trees, and garden beds create a calming sense of arrival. Inside, warmth and character unfold through high ceilings, generous natural light, and beautifully composed living and dining spaces designed for gathering. Western light moves through the home throughout the day, settling into soft evening sunsets. Life extends outdoors, from sunrise coffee on the rooftop deck to lingering evenings in the private, fenced backyard or waiving to neighbors from the covered front porch. A two-bedroom, one bath unit with a private entrance offers elegant flexibility for guests, creative pursuits, or income, while a lower-level garden studio provides additional space for work, retreat, or play. Close to downtown, parks, and schools, this home blends charm, versatility, and everyday ease.
