As you approach this home you’ll be amazed by the dog-friendly outdoor yard space which includes a private courtyard area and several different fenced-in areas around the entire property. The existing well and extensive irrigation system allow a new buyer to build their own tropical oasis. The main home is of block construction and features a ton of original character including a working fireplace, solid wood floors, a completely updated bathroom, and a kitchen with newer cabinets, countertops, and appliances. The air-conditioned cottage includes a bathroom with shower and laundry facilities. The cottage would make a great space for an art studio, a private office, or a private bedroom for your house guests. The roof has recently been replaced on both the main home and the cottage.
