Property is move-in ready.
This 1997-built property is in move-in ready, turnkey condition. It has undergone significant aesthetic updates that exceed its original construction standards, including the installation of engineered wood flooring, a modernized kitchen with white cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, and updated bathrooms featuring contemporary vanities and tile work. While the home is nearly 30 years old, the well-maintained systems, updated light fixtures, and the addition of solar power align with the 'good' criteria, as it requires no immediate renovation despite not being a brand-new or fully gutted recent remodel.
Elementary School: Portola Springs Elementary (9/10). Middle School: Jeffrey Trail Middle (9/10). High School: Northwood High School (9/10).
The property boasts stunning sunset and mountain views from the primary suite, the backyard patio, and a secondary bedroom's private walk-out balcony, significantly enhancing its aesthetic value.
The inclusion of a solar power system provides a major financial advantage, offering homeowners substantial annual savings on utility costs.

The 3,050 square foot lot is relatively compact for a single-family residence, which may restrict outdoor activities and limit privacy between neighboring homes.
With four bedrooms packed into under 1,700 square feet, individual room sizes may feel small, potentially challenging buyers looking for more expansive interior living areas.
