The lush backyard is a tropical paradise, featuring a stunning 15'x30' resort-style pool surrounded by mature landscaping, Chicago brick pavers, and an outdoor copper soaking tub for moments of pure relaxation. Every detail of this property celebrates its vintage charm: Cypress wood ceilings, solid oak floors, original glass door knobs, and a 3-tiered antique water fountain are just a few of the exquisite features. Modern upgrades like a hybrid gas/electric pool heater, Impact glass being installed, generator hookup, reverse osmosis water system, and a new irrigation well (2023) and Impact windows being installed soon, ensure comfort and peace of mind without compromising the home's historic appeal.
