Outside, newly enhanced landscaping and a custom built-in seating area surround a magnificent mature cactus, the sculptural centerpiece of the lush backyard, which also features a tranquil water feature and a prolific avocado tree. Whether dining beneath the arches, gathering around the fire pit, or relaxing in the serene courtyard, every outdoor space has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate the home's timeless beauty.Naturally energy efficient thanks to its original adobe construction, the Alice Lynch House is a truly extraordinary offering that masterfully blends history, craftsmanship, and modern comfort.
