Poets Corner is coastal living at its best with historical charm and quiet sophistication. The property offers a feeling of seclusion in the popular Belmont Heights area and is in a neighborhood surrounded by parks and open spaces. This two bedroom home has been decorated to reflect the artistic flair, culture and love of nature of its previous owners. Full kitchen, with new appliances, fully stocked with utensils for cooking and dining. Use the fresh herbs, lemons and lettuce from our garden to prepare your dinner or if preferred to let someone else do the cooking and refer to the binder of menu’s for fabulous take away or delivery. This home is truly a romantic getaway from it all!
Built in 1950 this home was completely refurbished inside and out (May, 2007) and retains the original character while paying homage to the former owner and published poet, Jane Buel Bradley. In 2004, Jane passed away and left the home to her dearest friend Lorna Kugler. We purchased the home from her family in 2006 with the intent of saving this property from demolition. Poet's Corner is tastefully decorated with some of Jane's own possessions and antiques.
You are invited to sit in the restored gardens and enjoy the mix of citrus and fruit trees, Japanese maples, flowers and herbs or go for a stroll to the Colorado Lagoon and catch glimpses of the resident Kingfisher (mentioned in Jane's poetry). Jane and Lorna loved flowers and the beds have been planted in shades of red and yellows. Visitors comment that the gardens have a very Tuscan feel about them.
Wander behind the house and you will see the beginning of the California native garden - a work in progress (June 2008).
Our garden has recently been recognized as a sanctuary for urban songbirds and wildlife! This home is located in a quiet neighborhood with glimpses of local wildlife including brown pelicans, doves, finches, song birds, hummers, squirrels, a family of raccoons and kestrels. This is a very unique property in Belmont Heights. Enjoy the urban lifestyle while surrounded by open spaces.
