The fenced back yard is sculpted by pebble paths where exotic & native plants abound.

Less than 1 mi from hospital, 2 mi to downtown River District, the Casita could be a reconfigured to a rental studio apartment under new rules for accessory dwelling units regarding permits/parking/safety. The Casita even has a patio at the rear w outdoor shower & grill. Dream of ways to make the Casita your own guest suite/man cave/she shed OR look for rental income to help 'pay for paradise'. Former home of a master gardener & skilled volunteer at historic Edison home gardens. Irrigated by well, peaceful & relatively low maintenance, this colorful garden was designed to attract butterflies all year. Shade tress create dappled light all day while varieties of bamboo make gentle sounds. Need a project? Reclaim the koi pond & restart the fountains. NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE. New insulation in attic. Tented in past due to signs of termites but current WDO report shows treatment was effective + ongoing contract as well.
