This remarkable property offers a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom main house and an owner-architect designed and built 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage, on a double corner lot. Combining sustainability, ample outdoor space, and rental income potential, it offers extraordinary versatility. Whether you choose to live in the main house or the fully furnished architect’s cottage, the private access points for both garages and entrances make it ideal for multi-generational living or generating rental income. Renting out the main house or cottage would significantly cut the cost of ownership. The property sits on nearly a third of an acre adorned with mature landscaping, including a live oak, mango tree, neem tree, and two avocado trees. Located in a high elevation, non-flood, and non-evacuation zone, it provides peace of mind with a flood-free history. The main house features 1,350 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space under a brand-new roof installed in November 2024. Renovated in 2020, the interior boasts impact-resistant windows, refinished oak floors, a sleek kitchen with granite countertops, an updated 200-amp electric panel and AC system. Stucco-over-concrete block construction ensures durability. A large attached garage with 10-foot ceilings includes a washer/dryer setup and a full bathroom. The expansive screened porch overlooks a serene backyard and lush garden, which is irrigated by a deep well to maintain its greenery. The beautifully designed cottage, built in 2013, is a masterpiece of eco-friendly and sustainable living. It includes an attached 1-car garage, added in 2023, which features a washer/dryer, workspace, upright freezer, and ample storage. The cottage incorporates a metal roof with 12 solar panels and two Tesla Powerwall batteries, promoting energy efficiency. Two 1,000-gallon cisterns with a pump enable efficient irrigation, while impact-resistant roll-down shutters provide security. The interior features exquisite Brazilian cherry and quartzite countertops, native cypress wall details, and custom 8-foot maple doors. The ceilings slope from 8 to 10 feet, creating a sense of spaciousness, while custom solar shade sails enhance comfort during the summer. The cottage is surrounded by custom 8-foot privacy fences and offers direct alley access.
