A wrap-around porch and fruit trees, including peach, cherry, and fig, enhance the outdoor atmosphere. The pool was resurfaced last year and includes a new pool sweep. The home was previously configured as an 8-bedroom property, offering the potential for additional rental income. The permitted cottage, formerly a garage, has its own address and is currently an Airbnb favorite. It includes a spacious room with a murphy bed, windows overlooking the pool and neighborhood, a full bathroom, a kitchenette, an on-demand hot water heater, and a newer split HVAC system.
