Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although built in 1988, the property has undergone an extensive and high-quality recent renovation. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and a contemporary hexagonal backsplash. Bathrooms are fully updated with trendy subway and patterned tiling and modern fixtures. The interior boasts an open-concept layout with updated wood-look flooring, a floor-to-ceiling tiled fireplace, and modern light fixtures, while the exterior includes a well-maintained private pool and spa.
This property offers a highly sought-after single-story floor plan that provides both accessibility and the privacy of a detached residence, a combination rarely found in the Vista Ladera community.
Featuring a private pool, spa, and an oversized lot, the backyard offers a level of outdoor living and entertainment space that significantly exceeds the neighborhood standard for this price point.
The interior has been thoughtfully updated with a light-filled, open-concept design and modern finishes, allowing for an immediate move-in experience without the need for additional renovations.
At just 993 square feet, the living space is relatively small for a detached home, which may be a limiting factor for buyers requiring more room for storage, guests, or a home office.
With a list price of $955,000, the property commands a significant premium per square foot, which may challenge appraisal values or buyers focused on interior square footage value.
