A sliding glass door opens from the living room out to the front deck. Wonderful for morning coffee and the paper!
The formal dining room could not be more charming. A corner built in provides a great place for your favorite entertaining pieces and mementos.

The second bedroom also has good closet space and is adjacent to the half bath at the end of the hall.
This is a convenient location as well.

The sizable back yard has a creek that runs in the back and is an urban farmer's dream! Get ready to spend your days making pies and handing out fruit. Currently a blank slate this yard could be simply amazing and features peach, pear, loquat, Meyer and Ponderosa lemon, fig, olive and Japanese plum trees. A prolific grape vine also grows in the yard and a laurel tree provides savory seasoning. Oak and acacia trees dot the landscape and there is plenty of room for raised beds, grass, patios, sports court…you are limited by only your imagination!
