Well, it happened. After two years of visiting open houses each week, choosing one to write about every Thursday, and talking to friends in the real estate business just about every day, I fell in love with a house that I couldn’t resist. The stars aligned, the numbers aligned, and now, as of just this week, I am once again a home owner. Next week I will move from a one-bedroom cottage downtown to MY one-bedroom cottage downtown. And I couldn’t be happier.
However, just because I’m spoken for, doesn’t mean I can’t check out the available properties that are on the market. I’m committing myself to love and cherish my little craftsman bungalow, to care for it in sickness and in health. But a girl can still dream about hilltop hideaways and Montecito mansions. We have no shortage of fantasy-worthy properties in our community, and I’ll share every notable nook and delightful detail.
One such dream home is 2150 Las Canoas Road. Like my new place, it’s a one-bedroom house, but that’s about where the similarity ends. This home is perched on a hillside up above Las Canoas Road, in Mission Canyon. Driving the winding route to get there takes one past the Mission, the Museum of Natural History, and almost to the Botanic Garden. Pulling up to the huge oak tree in front of the house, it’s easy to forget that you’re only a few miles from State Street, because the privacy and quiet setting make it feel worlds away.
