- Public Remarks
- Circa 1900: A very charming classic cottage that was originally built by Lucy Abbott on her mansion property in the next block and moved to its present site on new foundation in 1989. The home is situated on the largest lot on the block with a mature Live Oak tree in the centerline of the front door that shades the entire front yard, porch and driveway. The substantial back yard has room to expand the house or build a pool, garage and/or guest cottage and gardens. A magnificent 20-year-old towering Timber bamboo grove stands approximately 75+ feet high centered at the rear of the property, usually swaying with the wind. The front porch is full width with a deep overhang and is everyone's favorite sitting-reading-socializing spot.
