Custom-built home has unique built-in features at every turn. This house was built by Limey Kay, now a La Honda legend. He was a genius with brick and stone and built most of the chimneys and barbecues in town, easily identified by the trademark abalone shell embedded somewhere in the project. This is a classic La Honda house, and although now secure on a new foundation, does not have a flat floor or square corner anywhere! Definitely a house full of character.

This house has one bedroom, large closet with washer and dryer hookup, living room, kitchen, full bath and an extra room used as a dining room/office or extra bedroom. Obviously the living room has a fireplace. There is also a brick barbecue inside the dining room although I have never had the courage to use it. The basement is currently closed off for remodeling which I do not expect to be finished for a few years. It is a very quiet and secluded location on a dead end street. La Honda is a great little town with an excellent elementary school, tennis courts, community swimming pool, hiking trails and a clubhouse. 20 minutes drive from I 280 at Palo Alto means a comfortable commute.

Rent is $1580/mo. Security deposit is 2 months. One or more year lease required. No smoking. Cats are OK, but the dog issue is a concern as there is no fenced yard, so your dog will have to be walked. DSL and cable available. Water is included in the rent (a $250/mo value). You pay gas and electricity. The heat, hot water and stove are all gas.
