Sited on a flat, over half-acre lot, this home showcases vintage character and timeless design. Offering 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a den, home office, and generously-sized patio, the home has been thoughtfully updated while retaining its original charm.

The long, gated driveway provides plenty of space for off-street parking. Updates include copper plumbing, dual HVAC zones, Nest thermostats, new water service from the street, a newer Spanish tile roof on the main house (approx. 3 years old), copper gutters, and a Tesla charging station. The landscape boasts a mature sycamore tree and palm trees, as well as orange, lime, yuzu, and lemon trees.
