Escape the world? Step through & go back 100 yrs; with serene wall art, Mexican tile friezes, and bamboo- framed in-ground spa, leads to a heavy wooden door; curl up in front of your decorative tiled fireplace under your 20' high octagonal living room tower, hear the creeks in the oak wood floor as you time travel further. This 2bd, 1-level, 1bth, home. Newer roof & paint. AC, water heater, windows, appliances, custom wood doors and accents save you any work. It was the adobe Gatehouse of Gilliland Groves, it is the secret ''castle keep'' of Palma Viva, and, although hidden, it is right here in the heart of Arcadia, a couple of blocks from LGO. A walled rear patio w/ raised garden beds, original shutters and towering date palms. Truly ''one of a kind''.
