The land simply flows into Pickens Canyon. The result is a seamless union between home and canyon, where boundaries soften and the outdoors become part of daily life.Features include in 2024 custom rain gutters, replaced authentic clay tile $97,000 done by Shea Roofing, termite done in November of 2023 Blair's Termite and new split HVAC units in both homes.The property offers flexibility and comfort as a legal duplex, with two separate living spaces designed to fit real life.
