Original architectural details are paired with clean lines, updated finishes, and an effortless indoor-outdoor flow.

A brick courtyard sets the tone with its outdoor fireplace, café lights, and lush landscaping. It’s the perfect setting for dining under the trees or gathering with friends. Inside, the home opens to a light-filled layout with hardwood floors, a showpiece fireplace with copper detailing, and oversized windows that frame sweeping hillside views.
The remodeled kitchen features quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless appliances including a gas range, and a spacious layout with plenty of prep and gathering space. A sunlit breakfast nook sits just off the kitchen, offering a cozy spot to enjoy morning coffee and take in the views.
The generous primary suite opens to a private view deck and includes a large bonus room ideal for a home office, creative studio, or lounge. Built-in shelving, multiple workspaces, and French doors make it a bright and flexible retreat. A spacious full bathroom features dual sinks, a large walk-in shower, and timeless finishes. Two additional bedrooms upstairs share a beautifully updated hall bath.
Set on nearly half an acre, the property offers multiple areas to relax, garden, or enjoy the natural surroundings. Architectural plans for a detached ADU are included, providing a thoughtful path for future expansion.
This home blends classic charm with today’s comforts and long-term potential.
