A stylish modern home on a peaceful hillside with a forest-like yard full of mature growth trees, fire-pit, hammock, air-conditioned outdoor meditation room and private tree-house-like bungalow with half bath, balcony and outdoor shower. The main house was built in 1964 and retains its charm while boasting modern amenities including all you need to live, cook, and relax. The property is perched at the top of a hill on a large lot with a one-of-a-kind backyard that is a world unto its own. Peaceful, relaxing and containing a separate studio and balcony and a private, air-conditioned meditation room. Walk all the way down the hill to find a hidden creek at the bottom.
