The Bard of Los Angeles, Pulitzer Prize winning Columnist for the Los Angeles times, wrote often of the sweet pleasures of the beautiful garden that his wife Joanne, whom he called Cinelli, tended for over 40 years. He also wrote about the soulful wood and glass mid-century home they lived in and raised their family in. Wrapped in views near the State Park, with flowers tumbling riotously over nearly 3/4 of mostly usable acres, the land revels in entrancing gardens, with fruit trees, and enclosed raised bed veggie gardens. Deep in the garden the house rises like a magical tree house. Inside, walls of glass bring you out to the abundant greenery, canyon views, and welcoming decks. The roofline swoops down dramatically to a corner bound by hand built stone walls. 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a sweet office, all await that reawakening, that refresh of new eyes and hands. A fireplace warms the open flowing rooms and one's heart. Stonebound paths lead to a creek, a play yard, a custom built gazebo, and a carport, with a sign stating parking for Grandpa, only. Grandpa being the beloved Mr. Martinez. He once wrote of this garden, "Nature seeks a balance of sun and shadow. We could learn from our garden, and perhaps that's what I'm doing now, exercising my psyche to benefit my outlook. But it's starting to sprinkle and laptops, unlike camellias, do not draw from the moisture. I rush, head-ducked, toward the house. The garden waits for another day." And now it waits for you. The park beckons steps away. Tower bedrooms gaze across the canyon, sunshine glancing down through the spectacular oak trees. Have you ever befriended a tree? You will know them deeply, here. They are a presence with which to be at peace. Tall walls of books tell stories of the writer that breathed life into these wood walls. Gracious gardens tell the story of the tender care given by a passionate gardener. This home will shelter you and your stories. This is the chance to write a beautiful life in your new home.
