    What's special

    Unique Craftsman cottage originally built as caretakers quarters for the 2 acre Beals Ranch. In great condition, it feels like a custom cabin surrounded by Oaks, Palms and Redwoods. Featuring a newer large kitchen with hand built cabinetry and cement counters, 2 beds on the upper floor, and 2 really cool baths, one with vintage claw foot tub. The current owners have taken great care of this home. On a cul-de-sac road, this gated home rests in the rear of the property with a gravel driveway, and it truly feels like a retreat. With three structures, you will first find the playhouse with a pond, then the 2 car garage and large attached workshop with a large covered patio. The main house entry also has a wonderful large patio that will entice you to eat outdoors. Other features include an outdoor Jacuzzi, hammock areas, a garden, and a great secluded front lawn. Sold with termite clearance and a home warranty. Standard sale. Appt only because there is a dog. For a private showing please call David Stanford at 626.644.2652.
