Margaret was a horticulturalist and antique collector, leaving some irreplaceable remnants of her talent that still grace the home- leaded glass entry windows, European marble fireplace, and fireplace in kitchen. It is sited on a 2-acre parcel overlooking a working horse ranch, where you can watch the ponies gallop from the upstairs terrace or from the expansive wrap-around veranda, all on Capra Ranch, once owned by Frank Capra, frequently referred to as the "greatest filmmaker of all time" for "It's a Wonderful Life" and other cinematic masterpieces. This home is often mistaken for a historically designated "time capsule," yet it was completed in 1985 and offers all the grandeur and features of a "turn of the century" estate.
