Welcome to this charming 1915 Craftsman, a home filled with history, creativity, and a deep sense of care. This was our mother’s house, and much of the artwork, décor, and color throughout the space reflects her original vision. We’ve preserved what made it special while updating the essentials for comfort and ease.

We welcome guests from all over the world, and we’ve shaped the home to feel warm, personal, and inviting—whether you're here for work, exploration, or rest.
