Acquired from the estate of the original owners’, this Jefferson Park bungalow exudes the character and charm of a dignified residence. The design restoration of this home blended the original elements with a modern urban sophistication that is warm and soothing.

The land measure is 11,100 SF (74′ x 150″) of rejuvenated property, featuring an entry courtyard, adobe walled back area, patio, outdoor fireplace, off-street parking, and privacy.
