Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1978, the property has been meticulously maintained with significant recent capital improvements including a brand-new HVAC system, new roof, and new windows. The interior features updated engineered hardwood flooring and a refreshed kitchen with new countertops and stainless steel appliances. These major system updates and cosmetic refreshes move the property from 'Fair' to 'Good' as it is fully functional and move-in ready.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 30900, living area = 1572.
Positioned at the highest point of the street on a 0.71-acre lot, this home offers unparalleled privacy and breathtaking views of the valley and mountains from nearly every room.
The property features significant high-value updates, including a new roof, new windows, brand-new central HVAC, and 17 fully owned solar panels, offering immediate peace of mind and energy efficiency.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1880, other record living area = 1572.
Despite meticulous maintenance and key updates, the 1978 construction may retain a traditional floor plan that feels less open than modern contemporary designs.
While the lot is expansive at 0.71 acres, the hilltop location suggests significant sloped terrain, which may limit the amount of flat, usable yard space for recreation.
At the very top of Castle Court, this hilltop home takes in panoramic views of Lakeside, the valley, and the mountains from nearly every window. As the last home on the street, it offers a sense of privacy that is hard to find. Set on 0.71 acre and meticulously maintained by its original owner, it features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, plus a permitted 308 sq ft bonus room downstairs for an office, gym, or guest space. The big updates are done: new roof, new windows, brand-new central HVAC with central AC, a 2017 water heater, and 17 owned, paid-off solar panels. Engineered hardwood flows throughout the open main level. The living room centers on a wood-burning fireplace, with dimmable recessed lighting in the living room and kitchen. The kitchen pairs new countertops with KitchenAid stainless appliances and a gas stove. A picture-frame window over the staircase carries the view upstairs. Then there's the garage: permitted, detached, and tri-level, with three car bays, a workshop below, attic storage above (approx. 6-ft ceilings in both), and six picture-frame windows, so even your shop has a view. Made for the collector, the craftsman, or anyone who needs real space to work. The lot offers potential to add an ADU (buyer to verify with the County). Mornings start with the valley below, evenings end with the lights of Lakeside, and fireworks nights come with a front-row seat. Solar exterior lighting, public water and sewer, no HOA, no Mello-Roos. Views, land, and a home like this rarely come together. Disclaimer: Fireworks and ADU shown in the listing video are AI-generated.
