It also lives much larger than you’d expect! With deep soil and a seasonal stream, the home is currently configured as a 1-2 bedroom dwelling that could be easily reconfigured to create a 3 bedroom space.

The central kitchen opens to an inviting sitting area with a fixed wall of gridded windows (reclaimed and refinished with love), which not only make the space bright and airy but allows a full view of the gorgeous grounds…no need for curtains here! An adjacent room could be used for your home office or converted to bedroom 3. The bath has been recently updated and is much larger than expected.
