About This Home

As of August 2019

This unique property is sheltered by trees and hedges that screen a simple, rebuilt, bungalow. The single level home offers multiple french doors that open to extended outdoor living areas: a private dining deck, landscaped courtyard, and several fruit trees. In addition to a living room with fireplace, the kitchen and dining room share a large open space. The bedrooms are arranged along a South-facing gallery that opens to the deck and private garden. Bleached wood timber trusses support lovely vaulted ceilings. The floors are finished with flagstone and solid oak. All five bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, beautiful upgraded leaded windows, and generous built-ins. The master bedroom has a fireplace and direct access to the patio, garden, and spa. The "granny suite" at the rear is connected to the main house by a second sunlit gallery, and has a living and bedroom area, spacious bathroom, kitchenette, garden area, and private entrance. This suite would make a great home office. The unique attached direct access 2 car garage is very spacious and offers great built-ins and central heating and air.
