Bradbury estate-like living: Welcome to the exclusive neighborhood of Duarte Mesa, and welcome to the Arboretum of Duarte, as this exclusive home is known. It's a low slung ranch with an Asian-style roof line that sits on a half acre lot with over 65 species of plants, including Jacaranda, conifers, oak, and a variety of fruit trees from key lime to pomegranate to apple. Inside there is an instant feeling of serenity and harmony. The eye passes through the foyer with porcelain floors into the open living room/dining room and out through the wall of glass into the completely private, lush and beautifully landscaped backyard. The spacious master bedroom suite with Travertine tile floors and Shoji-style closet doors is its own peaceful retreat tucked away in the most quiet corner of the home. The fourth bedroom is accessed from both the master suite and the backyard. It is currently being used as an office. Here's an opportunity to acquire a true heritage home.
