This listing is for a house AND a studio apartment, both on this property. The House: Step inside the huge outside door leading to the front patio and follow the path through the front patio past the boulders, dry creek bed, and desert-scape landscape design. There is a quaint covered porch, that leads to the front door of the house. Walk out the back door of the home to the lovely large patio with its complete outdoor kitchen, hot tub for 6, waterfall and koi pond and fire pit. 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. 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. In the summer, you will appreciate the shade on the back patio and the coolness of the water feature. You might even take a dip in the unheated very large hot tub to cool off. Walk through the South patio to the separate entrance for the Garden Studio Apartment. This is a large space with a functional kitchenette, a dining table for 4, 2 queen beds and an optional full-size airbed. There is a small bathroom with a shower.

The specific street the house is on is a main thoroughfare, (although the house is set back from the street), and is less than 1 mile from downtown, the Convention Center, and the Hospital District. Downtown Visalia has lovely shops, restaurants, and bars. If you don't have a personal vehicle, you can walk to most destinations, although you will be on a busy street and a pedestrian walkway over the freeway getting there. The walk is safe but not picturesque. But this helps you avoid having to find parking and makes it safe to enjoy adult beverages since you don't have to drive. Alternatively, there is Lyft and Uber- wait times vary a great deal. The thermostat may be adjusted down to 74 degrees in the summer and up to 70 in the winter. Please let me know if that is not comfortable for you and I will adjust it. The fireplace gas insert provides additional warmth if desired- just push the button! There are also ceiling fans in the living room and all of the bedrooms. Extra charge for pre-approved pets. Extra charge to charge electric vehicles.
