AI summary
Coast to Coast founder Robin Judkins is selling his unique Sumner home, which he bought on a whim in 1987. He extensively renovated the rundown 1904 property, adding a second level with architect John Trengrove and turning it into a creative retreat.
The home became a hub for musicians, even featuring in a Marlon Williams music video. After nearly four decades, Judkins is selling the property "as is, where is" due to earthquake damage.
