Landscaping features native and Mediterranean-inspired plantings including manzanita, agave, succulents, California sage, and Italian cypress. In the backyard, a lush oasis awaits with orange, Fuji apple, plum, lemon, and pear trees, plus Japanese maple, European palm, and thornless blackberries. Inside, enjoy beautiful hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and a 2bed, 1bath floor plan with the original Art Deco bathroom design. Home offers a partial basement, a detached garage.
