Thursday Three Hundred: Need Some Room to Breathe? Casa Linda Estates Cutie Has a Huge Lot, Tons of Living Space

By Joanna England / October 4, 2012 /

I love finding a great house in my neck of the woods. This Casa Linda Estates house just hit the market and it is perfect. I bet this three-bedroom, two-bath house at 9815 Redondo will go fast, too.
