The smart-lock entry opens to the living room where there is a full-sized pull out sofa, comfy chair, fireplace and 55-inch smart TV. From there french doors open to a large dining room with a lounge area connecting to the kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with high-tech appliances, as well as coffee and tea and all of the essentials you would need to cook a meal.
This home has 2 bedrooms, each with a queen bed and spacious closet for storage. For those who like to sleep in, there are black-out curtains in both bedrooms. For easy device charging there are touch-lamps with USB-C and regular USB ports on both sides of each queen bed. The home has one full bathroom with a shower/tub. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash are all provided.
Towards the back of the house is the laundry room that has a stacked washer & dryer, laundry soap, ironing board, iron, trash and recycling container.
About the permaculture yard:
The 1/3-acre expansive permaculture garden began in 2021 as a passion project by the owner, Melissa, who designed the space to support wildlife, restore the local ecosystem, and create a peaceful refuge for guests and pets alike. The property is graced by majestic old growth willow oaks that provide shade and shelter, creating a serene canopy for the garden below. Guests can enjoy bird watching at their leisure, as a wide array of bird species visit the feeder to feast throughout the day. Butterflies — including monarchs — flutter gracefully among the flowering plants, adding to the tranquil atmosphere.
The landscape features an abundance of food-bearing and native species — like figs, elderberries, strawberries, mulberries, and persimmon — that you're welcome to enjoy when in season. Whether you’re sipping coffee in the screened gazebo, watching your dog explore the yard off-leash, or simply soaking in the quiet beauty of this rare urban green space, this home offers a truly special kind of stay — private, peaceful, and full of natural wonder.
