What’s love got to do with it? Everything, from the pink lilies aka ”Naked Ladies” curbside, sprinkled purple irises, succulents inviting prosperity, she’s blue with a touch of lavender blending into the sky, a red manzanita tree anchoring the earth, and a red/violet pop greets you at the front door – she says come in and see how I shine.

What’s love got to do with it? Everything, from the pink lilies aka ”Naked Ladies” curbside, sprinkled purple irises, succulents inviting prosperity, she’s blue with a touch of lavender blending into the sky, a red manzanita tree anchoring the earth, and a red/violet pop greets you at the front door – she says come in and see how I shine.
She’s so much more than you would ever expect, peeking in the front window: golden hardwood floors, bright and generous living room and formal dining room with recessed ceilings. From the kitchen window, views of the hills; the back yard expansive and magical. Custom-designed containers with a raised vegetable bed, lime, lemon, Fuji apple, mulberry, apricot, weeping mulberry, Fuyu persimmon trees, and passion fruit vines climb her fence, an orchard of delicious delight, heaven-sent and love-inspired, a gardener’s making, a gardener, a wife loved by her Country Joe.
The main level one-step-in features: refinished hardwood floors, a generous light-filled living room with a fireplace, and a formal dining room. The eat-in kitchen is tastefully updated with marble countertops, freshly painted cabinetry, new stainless-steel appliances, and beautiful views of the hills.
Just off the kitchen, a bright sunroom offers flexible space for a home office, den, or third bedroom. Two bedrooms and an updated bathroom complete the upper level.
Downstairs, a remodeled and permitted ADU provides an ideal space for extended family, guests, or rental income. The space features a modern kitchen with white quartz countertops and newer cabinetry, luxury vinyl plank flooring, a welcoming living room with a gas fireplace/stove, and a bright bedroom overlooking the garden. A frosty glass door opens to a private sitting area, creating a peaceful retreat of its own.
Thoughtfully maintained and extensively updated, the home also includes copper plumbing, updated electrical service with a 200-amp panel, completed foundation and seismic upgrades, a sewer lateral in compliance, hard-wired smoke and fire alarms, an enclosed laundry room off the carport, and off-street parking for two to three vehicles.
This is more than a house and ADU. It is a home-a place where gardens flourish, generations and friends gather, and memories are made. Now it is time for her next chapter.
