The yard is landscaped with a plethora of fruiting trees: Fig, Peach, Nectarine, Apple, Pear, as well as Blueberry bushes, and a Grape Arbor. Local Artists/Artisans have contributed creative touches throughout the property: custom decorative metal railing on back porch of main house, a metal sunflower balcony and porch railing on guest house porch and balcony, colorful tile murals in bathroom, sunroom floor, and kitchen backsplash, a wide array of wood species and custom woodwork throughout. The historic primary house has undergone major renovation: features a front courtyard, sunroom, open floor-plan, tall ceilings, French doors, beautiful wood floors, European style shutter windows, new stainless appliances, artfully designed tile bath, a Great Room w vaulted wood ceilings & newly built, exposed brick/stone FP; this room opens to back porch which sits privately with a high view of a beautiful courtyard/fenced back yard.

It provides an excellent flex space which has a diversity of potential uses: a home office, art studio, gym, band practice/music studio, home hair salon, rental income ( use your imagination ).
