Seller's Love Letter: "There's an old saying that captures the essence of living in the grand Craftsman at 5822 Genoa: 'He who loves an old house will never love in vain.' -Hartwell Homestead I first bought the house from the Uno family eleven years ago. Mr. Uno was a well-known artist, who later became a gardener. The care that he and his family gave to the house can still be felt. You can still see the stone Japanese characters they put in the sidewalk in front of the house. The annual blooming of the backyard cherry blossom tree is a sight to behold. We learned how to garden here and remembered the Uno family as we did so. The thing about this house, besides its redwood strength and harmonious design, is how much space it has. With all of the activity, it never felt crowded. We would often hang out on the front porch after work, talking to the neighborhood regulars as they walked their dogs, and watching the bicycles travel up and down the Genoa bike corridor. 5822 is a special house, located in a very special community." -Richard & Marisa, Sellers
