About this home

Freshly painted inside and refinished wood floors! This 1913 historic homestead known as The Wilcox Place, totals 4,500 sqft. of living space with its main house, guesthouse, and workshop. It is nestled within 2.81 landscaped and fenced acres at the foothills with a winter mountain view. The entry-level is country style with a bright foyer and an adjacent office. The main level is ground level with the back gardens. The living room is 30 feet long and is wainscoted-encapsulated with small, richly hued boards accented by a stone fireplace. In a former attic space is a bedroom suite. The bright kitchen opens onto a garden deck. At some point in time, the bedroom wing was separate but has since been joined by a breezeway that opens to a stone, garden terrace, and a balcony. The old hatchery is now the cutest guest house from which visitors must be forcefully evicted! The entire property has been professionally fenced and is secure for all makes and models of dogs; diggers and climbers.
