Description
We love our sunlit and comfortable home, but I am celebrating retirement with a year abroad. We are looking for an individual or couple to love it and watch it while we are away. We are looking for a renter for July-June, or longer, or the sabbatical year. Dates are somewhat flexible. Importantly, this would be a floor/suite within the house. Otherwise, it is unoccupied, and you would have used the full house except for two top floor bedrooms. We will be returning every few months for a few days. The house is "French Eclectic meets Tudor style" with 3 floors, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and 2 study/art rooms. We have geothermal heating/cooling and solar PV. The house faces West with long views. It gets great sun. Included are a large deck, a deck for the master bedroom, and patio spaces. We also have a post and beam viewing structure on ~ 2 acres (see pics here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1QYRJsE138T-cwtngEm-uGSj8Sj7H77aj
