Each of the four bedrooms in the main house is its own retreat, brimming with character and offering stunning treetop and/or city views. The architectural integrity of the home has been preserved with hand-laid Spanish tiles and vintage-inspired fixtures, while smart updates seamlessly blend history with modernity.
