A private detached casita below offers the perfect space for exercise or a creative studio. Enjoy your own fruit garden with mature lime, avocado, lemon, nectarine, and tangerine trees. Timeless character remains with original windows and stucco (some thoughtfully restored), while tech upgrades include a SimpliSafe security system and app-controlled pool and lighting.
