This 1931 residence perfectly balances historic charm, such as beamed ceilings and restored original windows, with high-end 2024 upgrades including owned solar, an EV charger, and a gourmet kitchen featuring Miele and Thermador appliances.
The expansive 10,601 sqft lot serves as a private oasis with a 21-tree fruit orchard, irrigated vegetable beds, and a UV-protected patio with a built-in BBQ, offering a rare 'farm-to-table' lifestyle in an urban setting.
With the primary suite located on the upper floor and the secondary bedrooms on the lower level, the floor plan may be less desirable for families with young children who prefer all bedrooms on a single story.
Despite significant modern upgrades, a home of this vintage with original architectural elements and windows may require more specialized and frequent maintenance than a contemporary construction.
