Every detail of this property celebrates its vintage charm: Cypress wood ceilings, solid oak floors, original glass door knobs, and a 3-tiered antique water fountain are just a few of the exquisite features. Modern upgrades like a hybrid gas/electric pool heater, Impact glass, generator hookup, reverse osmosis water system, and a new irrigation well (2023) and new tankless hot water heater, ensure comfort and peace of mind without compromising the home's historic appeal.
