About
NOW= "No Opportunity Wasted!" I live in downtown Fresno, CA,My house is named "Fermata," a musical term (the bird's eye) meaning "rest as long as you like" It is a 1904 colonial revival Foursquare with Craftsman & Prairie details,on the Fresno Historic register. Fermata is not just real estate for me, but a WAY of living, in a restored house, a neighborhood in transition, with neighbors distinct from me, a city that is ripe with hope and bursting with opportunity.
