Property Description

This is a one of a kind property in the university neighborhood near the box springs mountains. While technically a three bedroom home, there have been changes opening up the spaces between bedrooms to create a most unique library/office/study environment using two of the bedrooms. The modest 'master' bedroom has it's own freshly renovated bath complete with tile shower and new fixtures throughout. The living room and bedrooms have older hardwood floors. The kitchen is open and artistically updated with slate floors granite counters and newer stove. The breakfast/dining area opens out to the private covered patio and modest lap pool that has just been re-plastered. Trees and shrubs help to create a private atmosphere for quiet gatherings or solitary meditation. A two-story tall "gallery" was added a few years ago. This room has sky lights and a balcony (reached via ladder) for storage. Throughout the house there are vintage neon signs and lighting that create a most unusual environment - perfect for artists, writers, actors, dancers, musicians or poets. Numerous sculptures are in place and will remain on exhibit in the house until close of escrow - or beyond.
