The home boasts a seamless transition to a covered Ipe wood deck from the living area, kitchen, and primary suite, perfect for entertaining against a backdrop of natural light and lush scenery.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1330, other record living area = 1158.
The property includes only a one-car garage, which may be a constraint for multi-vehicle households in a hillside neighborhood where guest parking is often limited.
With 1,330 square feet of living space, the home’s compact footprint and two-bedroom layout may feel restrictive for buyers seeking more expansive interior volume at this price point.
