It features a reclaimed Singer sewing machine repurposed as a pedestal base sink, Murano glass light fixtures, shower surround with glass inlay and Italian porcelain tile floors. The back bedroom is artfully painted and has sliding glass doors leading out to the backyard.

The outdoor space at this home is just wonderful! The home is well sited on a 4,680 square foot lot (per public records.)

During the summer months all of your friends will want to hang out in this backyard!

Beautiful hardscape creates a great space for entertaining and the olive and pepper trees bring nature to your door. There is even a peak-a-boo view from the back deck. Set back from the street there is a great sense of privacy.
