Set up an outdoor dining set for al fresco dinners all summer long, gather around the fire pit while the sun goes down, and find fun flexibility in the roll up glass door portion of the 2+ car garage that even includes a custom mural. 

In the 2020-built DADU, each detail has been just as carefully considered and chosen as everything in the main home. This permitted 827-square-foot dwelling includes 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a full kitchen, and laundry amenities. Just a few of this DADU’s other notable features include the Mt.
