Just beyond, a private courtyard connects to the front structure facing King Street, referred to as the Back House, which provides a charming and flexible layout with a bedroom, full bath, living area, and kitchenette, ideal for guests, extended stays, or potential rental use.
Between the two buildings, a beautifully landscaped courtyard offers a serene, garden-like setting, while an additional rear patio behind the main house is designed for relaxation and entertaining, complete with a spa-style dip pool. The seamless indoor-outdoor flow and multiple private outdoor spaces make this property exceptionally private and livable.
