This longtime artist's home centers on a backyard atrium and greenhouse, with a waterfall and layered garden rooms. Inside, reclaimed wood finishes and a window atrium that once housed a pet parrot show the same creative hand. The main house holds two primary suites, one down and one up, plus a combined room once used as an art studio. A separate unpermitted studio adds a full kitchen and bath. Buyers are told to independently investigate permits and potential modifications.
From the listing: “Some homes invite you to bring your imagination. This one has been living in it for years.”
