The main residence feels timeless and ethereal, boasting a beautifully updated kitchen and primary bathroom adorned with original details, stained glass, and elegant finishes. An attached artist's studio is marvelously set at the base of a 30-foot wine barrel, and a separate casita offers a serene retreat for guests.

New outdoor kitchen, enchanting archways and paths, expansive decks with sweeping canyon views and paved, off-street parking for several cars make for effortless entertaining.
