This 1,882-square-foot single-family home features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large eat-in kitchen, and an open living-dining plan. Hardwood floors and premium tiles flow throughout, complemented by radiant heating and a thermostat-controlled gas fireplace installed in 2013. One bedroom was remodeled into a granny unit with its own kitchen, and the home also includes an office/library. Permitted sauna and artist studio were added(2013).The landscaped, water-wise backyard includes raised vegetable beds, patios, and heritage apricot, plum, pear, and olive trees, plus a mission fig and persimmon. The front garden showcases low-maintenance native plants, a Thompson seedless grapevine, quince and pomegranate trees, two black currant bushes, and an ornamental plum. Summer cooling comes from a whole-house fan and mini-split heat pump. Radiant heat and hot water are powered by a gas furnace. Solar-powered shades reduce afternoon heat. The 10 kW solar system and one Powerwall provide ample energy for the home, including EV charging. The garage offers a storage loft, closet, epoxied floor, insulated wooden door, and two NAS EV chargers. A Willow Glenstyle automated gate secures the backyard. The house has been bolted to its foundation, partially funded by a CA Earthquake Authority grant.
