"Roselawn" is a colonial revival home, which was built in 1905 for Thomas and Virginia Gibson (whom the road is named after) as the centerpiece of the sprawling Roselawn Stock Farm. At one time this gracious home was surrounded by acres of farmland. Today, the 1.3-acre garden contains a croquet court and putting green with sand trap. The circular driveway opening up to Gibson Road is surrounded by over 60 tree roses and 100+ year old palm trees. A family of barn owls nests in the date palms in the front and are often heard clicking and screeching after dark. The secluded garden is framed by trees and oleander hedges and contains a formal vegetable garden and a formal rose "cutting" garden. At the entrance to the vegetable garden area is a garden gazebo, made entirely of recycled material, and a foundation wall using bricks which were salvaged when the washhouse was converted to living quarters. The back of the house is graced by the shade of a 250 year old Valley Oak tree. Located behind the main house, the former “wash house” has been converted into “Rose Cottage”, a small guesthouse. The house also benefits by a 4.1 Kwh solar system, a standalone workshop, a standalone office/studio that were added, remodeled bathrooms (from the studs out) and kitchen remodel.
