The rear cantilevered deck, with new redwood boards, provides abundant gathering space and a newer spa - tremendous views day or night. The deck is completely open to the view but is private from the next-door neighbors. The mahogany sunroom with walls of glass provides a spectacular view of the canyons, with a gas fireplace for cozy retreats. Updated kitchen with dual fuel range and a wine refrigerator. The primary has a newly refreshed ensuite. Original hardwood floors, mostly dual pane windows, and attic insulation ensures both style and comfort.

Additional upgrades include newer furnace, new AC, and owned solar. Entire sewer line has been replaced. The large front bedroom can easily be converted back to two bedrooms, as per original 1938 design (see photos). Basement/workshop accessed by exterior stairs. Come home to your private oasis in the city.
