Agent Description

One of the most spectacular of Becky's Buys! Timeless craftsmanship meets modern luxury in this exceptional 1913 Craftsman, thoughtfully reimaged to preserve it's original character while embracing today's lifestyle. As you enter the security gate you'll love the huge front porch already improved with tiled floors and a porch swing to watch the city life.
