For added versatility, a separate guest cottage and workshop provide private spaces for family, friends, or creative pursuits. The lush backyard is a tropical paradise, featuring a stunning 15'x30' just resurfaced resort-style pool surrounded by mature landscaping, Chicago brick pavers, and an outdoor copper soaking tub for moments of pure relaxation. Every detail of this property celebrates its vintage charm: Cypress wood ceilings, solid oak floors, original glass door knobs, and a 3-tiered antique water fountain are just a few of the exquisite features. Modern upgrades like a hybrid gas/electric pool heater, Impact glass, generator hookup, reverse osmosis water system, and a new irrigation well (2023) and new tankless hot water heater, ensure comfort and peace of mind without compromising the home's historic appeal. With a fully fenced yard, screened rear porch, convertible in-law suite, and a 7-zone sprinkler system, this compound is perfectly designed for privacy and flexibility.
