A Visionary’s Ark Awaits on Mt. Ararat. A 1965 Original Ready for Its Next Chapter. Perched proudly on a hill locals fondly dubbed Mt. Ararat, this owner built 1965 gem is not your ordinary home. It is a bold architectural statement. With its distinctive, non square front inspired by Noah’s Ark, the house seems to gently crest the landscape like a vessel ready to sail into a new era. This is no cookie cutter residence. It is a canvas for someone with imagination, creativity, and a passion for breathing fresh life into a true original. Spanning three bedrooms and three baths across just over one sun drenched acre, the home offers endless possibilities for thoughtful updates that could transform it into a stunning 21st century retreat while honoring its playful, storybook roots. Inside, pr actical spaces include a wonderfully cool basement, once a natural refrigerator for storing walnuts and market bound flowers, that remains a handy asset for storage or creative conversion. Step outside, and you will discover a living masterpiece: a true English style garden designed for year round enchantment. Layered plantings ensure constant color and fragrance, with lilacs, lavender, sweet peas, and jasmine weaving through vibrant blooms. Mature fruit trees heavy with promise dot the landscape: peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots, and even orange trees, alongside a generous table grape arbor draped in black grapes. Towering over it all are six to eight productive walnut trees, a legacy harvest that once supplied both home and farmers market stands. This is a property that rewards the visionary. With careful design and a loving touch, imagine reimagining the Ark’s unique form into a modern sanctuary filled with light, sustainability, and character. Wake each morning to sweeping views that stretch across the hills, your own private Eden where the seasons unfold in layers of beauty and bounty. Whether you dream of a family haven, a serene artist’s retreat, or a show stopping updated home that tells a story unlike any other, this Mt. Ararat gem is calling for its next steward. Bring your vision. The Ark is ready to set sail once more.
