Enjoy a variety of day trips while staying with us! Visitors come from all over the world to see the giant sequoias at the Sequoia National Park. The Sierra Nevada mountain range offers beautifully-groomed ski slopes and numerous hiking trails. The Central California Coastline is widely thought of as the most beautiful part of the long California coastline. Or, visit Paso Robles to see over 26,000 acres of vineyards, nearly 200 wineries, and more than 100 tasting rooms a short drive away.
Not only is the Historical Downtown District full of unique shops and all sorts of restaurants, but Visalia boasts THREE 5 star elegant restaurants that are a destination for people from throughout Central California. There is usually sufficient free parking downtown if you choose not to walk. Throughout downtown, there is a free trolley service. You will need a car for day trips to Sequoia National Park, the Central Pacific Coast, and the wineries in the Paso Robles area.
The home is in the Beverly Glen neighborhood of Visalia. This is a very desirable, established, neighborhood with tree-lined streets and custom homes displaying styles ranging from Frank Loyd Wright to traditional brick 2 story homes. Yet, you will be less than 1 mile from downtown and the Convention Center and 1.1 miles from Kaweah Delta Hospital.
This property has been featured on the Garden Tour by the Garden Club, twice! One year for the lushly planted backyard and outdoor living space. And another year for the unique use of hardscape and drought-tolerant plants to create the beautiful front yard landscape.
Follow the path through the front yard past the boulders, dry creek bed, and desert-scape landscape design. There is another patio space here as you make your way up to the covered porch, that leads to the front door. Elegant landscape lighting adds ambiance to the front and the back landscaping and living spaces.
Step inside and you will see that this charming house was built about 1940, and has a lot of character to show for it! I purchased the home in 2009 and completed the renovation in 2012. The home is beautifully decorated in a contemporary-CA style. This is not just a basic suburban house in a basic suburban neighborhood. The thought, effort, and money that went into the decor is evident. You will feel like you are truly on vacation here!
Inside, you will find:
Updated kitchen with gas range. There is barstool seating for 2 plus separate dining room seats 6 comfortably. Living room has seating for 8, a flat screen TV, and a fireplace-flame surrounded by glass beads at the touch of a button. The fireplace will warm the living areas if you prefer that to the central heat.
The home has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. The master bedroom has a king bed, the other two bedrooms have queen beds, and there is a futon in the large living room. The home easily sleeps 8 people. There are ceiling fans in all of the bedrooms and also the living room. All bedrooms have some of the most comfortable mattresses you will sleep on- see the reviews of this property! One bath has tub and shower, 2nd bath has shower only.
Laundry room in the house. Coffee, a variety of tea bags, and filtered water in the fridge door. We boast a great deal of kitchen staples such as spices, cooking oil, sandwich spreads and more.
The backyard features a hot tub, built-in fire pit, large waterfall and Koi pond with beautiful professionally done landscaping. The back yard is entirely patio surrounded by landscaping, rather than a grassy lawn.
The covered patio area has a functional outdoor kitchen and an outdoor dining table which seats 6. The remainder of the patio is covered with 2 large umbrellas, so that nearly the entire backyard is shaded. This allows for use of the backyard throughout the summer.
But there is more...! This outdoor living space features a very large water feature with a waterfall and a Koi Pond. There is also a built-in gas fire pit and large comfortable seating area. The large, crystal-clear water, hot tub has room for 6 adults.
In the summer, you will appreciate the coolness of the shade from the large trees, covered patios, and the water feature. The hot tub may be kept cool and guests often use it in the summer as a relaxing way to cool off.
In the winter, after your warm soak in the hot tub, enjoy relaxing by the fire pit with your family and friends. It will keep you comfortably warm even on cold winter nights.
There is a garden apartment on the other side of the garage from this house. The apartment has its own courtyard and shares only the driveway with this house. If you are interested in booking both the house and the apartment, which would sleep 14 people, please use this link:
