About This Home

Tired of sitting in traffic and dealing with congestion?

Step outside to tend your garden where fresh vegetables grow and fruit trees stand ready for picking. Spend warm evenings splashing in the pool or roasting marshmallows by the campfire as tree frogs sing in the distance. This is more than a home, it’s a lifestyle far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life. Experience it all in this charming 1900 farmhouse, rich with character and timeless details, including original hardwood floors, tongue-and-groove ceilings, crown molding, and thoughtful craftsmanship throughout. This spacious 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home is perfect for a large or multigenerational family and offers excellent income potential with a private attached apartment featuring its own separate entrance.
