Description

There is an old-school elegance to this property that quietly draws you in. From the lava rock-rimmed pool, to the chandeliers and the girly pink tile in a bathroom, you feel transported to a different era yet the home has many updates that make it live well in 2020. Things like a remodeled eat-in kitchen, a large yard with fruit trees galore, a 50-year roof installed in 2011, and a dedicated office with built-ins make it move-in ready.There is an old-school elegance to this property that quietly draws you in.
