About This Home
As of August 2021Welcome to the Ivy House, an updated jewel box home nestled in El Portal’s secluded Sherwood Forest. This petite home (1227 SF under AC) lives large with vaulted formal living, fireplace, and open media/dining with double French doors opening to enchanted lush rear gardens with majestic mature canopy trees- the perfect destination for entertaining or an intimate evening under the stars. Split bedrooms for privacy, including a master suite retreat with natural oolite floor, sea pebble bath and separate office area. So much cherished character, plus updated kitchen and baths, roof (2018), and impact windows-doors, all in a non-flood zone! Discover the old Coconut Grove-feel of this enclave, tucked away in the heart of the El Portal bird sanctuary, yet so close to hip shops and restaurants!
