Experience the peace, character, and warmth of this truly unique home. A cheerful green front door welcomes you into a beautiful blend of rustic charm and timeless style, with flagstone floors, textured walls, and exposed rough-sawn beams. The spectacular great room features a dramatic wall of windows, wood ceiling beams, authentic Tecate tile floors imported from Mexico, and an oversized fireplace—an inviting space for gathering and relaxing. The cozy kitchen offers granite countertops, custom Hickory cabinetry, and a spacious pantry, while the versatile den works beautifully as a home office, TV room, playroom, or guest space. Bathrooms feature stone countertops, copper sinks, and warm bronze fixtures. Outside, enjoy the redwood deck and pergola with market lights, perfect for entertaining and alfresco dining. The expansive yard includes space for an RV or boat. The property includes irrigated raised garden beds, fruit trees, a rose garden, a chicken coop, and a 10' x 10' workshop. Potential for a pool or ADU adds future customization and flexibility. Peaceful and private, with birdsong and the soothing sound of a fountain, this special retreat will be a place you'll love coming home to.
