With large front and rear yards, an automatic gate leads from expansive front lawn with large privacy hedge, to fully gated rear yard with pool, spa, gazebo and English Gardens. Three-car garage with attached 1BR/1BA guest house can be used as pool house/cabana. With its original architectural features, top-of-the-line modern amenities, and impressive pedigree, the Charles H Prisk House is a worthy contribution to this exclusive architectural rich neighborhood.-At a Glance: *Updated systems. *304 sf guest house (not included in overall SF). *Lower-level by permit w/egress 1,157 sf (included in overall SF). *Seismically updated. *3-zone HVAC. *Detached 3-car garage. *Outdoor BBQ w/gas line. *Copper gutters with internal downspouts. *Access controlled driveway gate.
