Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and well-maintained. While originally built in 1958, it has undergone significant updates including a renovated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, durable vinyl plank flooring, and a newer HVAC system (3 years old). The inclusion of paid solar and a functional studio ADU further supports a 'good' rating, though the overall aesthetic reflects a renovation from approximately 10-15 years ago rather than a brand-new modern remodel.
The property features fully paid solar panels and a newer HVAC system (3 years old), offering significant long-term utility savings and reduced maintenance costs for the buyer.
The inclusion of an attached studio ADU with its own kitchenette and granite counters provides excellent opportunities for rental income, a guest suite, or a private home office.
An expansive driveway accommodates multiple vehicles, including an RV or boat, while the spacious backyard with a covered patio and sunroom enhances the home's functional living space.
The local elementary, middle, and high schools all carry a rating of 3, which may be a deterrent for families prioritizing educational performance and could impact future appreciation.
