Enjoy indoor-outdoor living and entertaining in either of the home's two grand living spaces & the original formal living room with cathedral vaulted ceilings or the sprawling informal living room with soaring, two-story ceilings and a breathtaking fireplace inspired by Yosemite's Ahwahnee Lodge & which both feature walls of French doors that open to backyard with outdoor living and dining spaces, plus plenty of space for the next owners to add an in-ground pool! Widely admired for its striking architectural beauty and manicured landscaping with idyllic gardens and hedged privacy fencing, this prized property is affectionally called 'The Monkey House' by locals for the original sculpture that dons the front gable with two monkeys holding the Ullrich crest.
