This Custom Value-Add Estate is listed at $729,000, offering a significant footprint in the established River Oaks neighborhood. While the price exceeds the $680,207 Fair Market Value, the property provides unique financial leverage through a 5.25% Assumable VA Loan and a Solar System with Tesla Battery.

Backing the Lodi Lake Wilderness Area with private trail access, this residence is ideal for Owner-Occupants or Value-Add Investors seeking a high-utility asset.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a well-maintained 1974 custom home with significant recent mechanical upgrades, including a newer roof, HVAC, and a solar system with a Tesla battery. However, the interior is largely dated, featuring original wood paneling, fluorescent kitchen lighting, and tile countertops. While the home is functional and move-in ready, the kitchen appliances, bathroom styles, and carpeting show signs of age and wear, placing it firmly in the fair category due to the need for cosmetic modernization.
The property uniquely backs onto the Lodi Lake Wilderness Area, providing rare private access to nature trails and a serene, wooded backyard retreat.
Equipped with a solar system and Tesla battery for significant utility savings, plus a newer roof and HVAC system (both under 10 years old), reducing immediate capital expenditure.
Built by a respected local builder, this nearly 4,000 sq ft home features a full finished basement and a sunroom, offering exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, a home gym, or a large office.
Built in 1974, the home retains original features and a split-level design that may feel dated to modern buyers looking for an open-concept aesthetic.
The property has undergone multiple price reductions and is currently listed below its 2022 sale price, which may indicate a need for further modernization to justify its value in the current market.
