Set in 35 acres of parkland overlooking the Quantock Hills, the striking red sandstone Georgian house, offers 16,232sq ft of light and airy living space, with further accommodation in the three-bedroom Keepers Cottage that forms part of a newly built courtyard of traditional outbuildings to the north of the house.
Community mourns woman killed by tree branch
The Davis woman fatally injured by a falling tree limb at Slide Hill Park on Tuesday has been identified as 44-year-old Jennifer Comey, according to Sacramento County coroner’s officials.
Comey, her husband Ted Pitts and their daughter Margaret, now 3, moved to Davis from Ohio a year and a half ago when Pitts joined UC Davis’ King Hall School of Law as its statistics and metadata librarian, according to a GoFundMe page created by the family’s friends and neighbors, Alison and Joaquin Feliciano.
Comey’s family asked for privacy when contacted by a Davis Enterprise reporter Thursday afternoon, and UCD officials also declined to release additional information.
