Property is move-in ready.
This 1980-built home is in move-in ready condition with significant updates throughout. The property features a chef's kitchen with granite countertops and built-in appliances, renovated bathrooms with custom tile work and granite vanities, and modern upgrades including paid solar, dual AC units, and epoxy garage flooring. While the architectural style and some cabinetry reflect a slightly older renovation period (likely 5-15 years ago), the home is exceptionally well-maintained with no signs of deferred maintenance.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 36590, living area = 3292.
The expansive 0.84-acre lot features a private oasis with a swimming pool, spa, built-in BBQ island, and a diverse fruit orchard, offering an unparalleled space for high-end entertaining.
Equipped with a fully paid solar system, dual AC units, and dual water heaters, the property provides significant long-term utility savings and modern mechanical reliability.
Built in 1980, the property may feature architectural elements and core systems that, while well-maintained, lack the contemporary aesthetic and building standards of a modern new build.
A recent price reduction from the original list price suggests the property may have been initially over-positioned for the current local market conditions.
