Do you want a dream home in a dream neighborhood located in a dream part of the world? Step right up, the door of opportunity is open! Built between 2002-2007, the current owner took longer than Michelangelo did on the Sistine Chapel to create this Craftsman masterpiece. This is not just a home, this is a legacy.
