There is a warmth here, a sense that this home was genuinely loved, that every updated luxury detail was chosen with care and intention. The courtyard is shared with the main house and a fully equipped casita with a studio layout, kitchenette, and full bath, ready to welcome guests, house extended family, or generate short or long-term rental income. It is a thoughtful bonus that adds both flexibility and real value to an already exceptional property. As you walk in the main house, the living spaces draw you in immediately. Rich white oak hardwood floors with mahogany inlay, dramatic arched focal windows that frame the outside world like a painting, and custom wrought iron details accenting the archways toward the dining room.
