This 1920's craftsman home is a rare find, quite the gardeners delight! - An oasis in the middle of the city, a true gardener's paradise. Previous owner was a Landscape Architect who planted the large yard in layers of plants so something is always in bloom! Brick paved paths wind through the abundant plantings, a water feature, and trellises. Garden structures provide storage, a potting shed and workshop. A porch anchors the “ casita” to the house and a large covered patio provides plenty of room for outdoor activities and even includes a handmade redwood booth for al fresco meals. A large number of native plants and other flowering shrubs that include: Ten different roses bushes, many varieties of irises, jasmine, wisteria, lilacs(purple and white), Fuchsia, Mock orange bushes(2 varieties), Clematis, Shasta Daisies, salvia, lobelia, violas, Nasturtiums, California/ Mexican Heathers, Datura, Alstroemeria (tri-colour), Ceanothus, Cala Lilies, ceolaria intergrifolia, Cana Lily, plum tree and Bougainvillea - along with a multitude of other plantings that provide year round blooms. An elevated bed of herbs Rosemary, mint, lavender, oregano, basil, thyme, cilantro, garlic chives and vegetables provides an additional planting area. The home is neat and clean as they come.
