Property is new construction or fully renovated.
This property underwent an extensive designer remodel in 2026, making it virtually new. It features a modern kitchen with quartz countertops and a custom island, spa-inspired bathrooms with rainfall showerheads and oak vanities, and high-end finishes throughout. The inclusion of owned solar, EV charging, and smart home features, combined with the detached studio and pristine interior/exterior condition, meets the highest standards for the excellent category.
Extensively reimagined in 2026, this home features high-end finishes including quartz countertops, Venetian plaster accents, and a spa-inspired primary suite, offering a completely move-in-ready experience.
The property boasts a rare combination of a low 1% tax rate, no Mello-Roos, and a fully owned 19-panel solar system, significantly reducing the total cost of ownership.
A unique detached studio with French doors provides highly sought-after flexibility for a professional home office, creative space, or guest room, separate from the main living areas.
At 1,600 square feet for a three-bedroom residence, the interior living spaces may feel constrained for families requiring more expansive common areas or larger secondary bedrooms.
While convenient, backing directly to the community pool and park can lead to increased noise levels and reduced backyard privacy during peak hours and community events.
