This Architectural Single Family Residence represents a High-Potential Investment Opportunity, listed at $2,795,000—positioned slightly above the $2,768,079 Fair Market Value. While the property requires cosmetic updates to modernize its Condition Rating of 4, the expansive 50,094 sqft lot and rare private lighted tennis court provide significant long-term value. The home’s unique redwood construction and versatile floor plan offer a foundation for high-end customization. This property is an ideal acquisition for Value-Add Investors or Owner-Occupants seeking a legacy estate with substantial recreational amenities.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1976, this architectural home is well-maintained but largely dated. While the outdoor kitchen and living areas show high-quality materials, the primary bathrooms feature 1970s-style blue tile and sunken tubs, and the kitchen cabinetry and laundry areas reflect older renovations (15-30+ years). It is functional and move-in ready but requires significant cosmetic updates to meet modern luxury standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 50094, living area = 3562.
The property features a rare private lighted tennis court and a comprehensive outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven and bar, offering a premier lifestyle for entertaining and recreation.
Built with premium clear, knotless redwood and featuring soaring ceilings, the home offers a unique, warm, and sophisticated aesthetic that reflects high-quality California design.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 3562, other record living area = 3339.
The property has been on the market for over 100 days and has undergone multiple price reductions, which may suggest initial overpricing or a mismatch with current buyer demand.
The extensive use of exterior redwood and the upkeep of specialized amenities like a tennis court and large garden may result in significant ongoing maintenance costs.
