It is a premier choice for Owner-Occupants or Creative Professionals seeking a sanctuary.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1993, the property has seen recent functional upgrades including a new roof, new hardwood floors, and updated appliances. However, the kitchen, while featuring quality oak cabinetry and granite countertops, presents a dated style, particularly with the cabinets and floor tile. The bathrooms are clean and functional but show significant signs of being outdated in terms of vanities, tile, and fixtures. The absence of central air conditioning is also a factor. While well-maintained, the aesthetic of key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms would require substantial updates to meet current styles, aligning with the 'Fair' category where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
The property boasts stunning panoramic views of the canyon, hills, and woods, with decks overlooking a wildlife corridor and hiking trails, offering a serene and immersive natural experience.
Built with expertly engineered caissons for earthquake resistance, interior sprinklers, double-paned windows for fire resistance, and a wind-resistant architectural shingle roof, ensuring exceptional durability and safety.
Features distinct upper, mid, and lower levels, providing flexible living arrangements suitable for a home office, guest quarters, artist's studio, or potential for multi-generational living/co-ownership.
There is a significant discrepancy between the listed square footage (1208 sqft) and the description's claim of 1832 sqft with approved plans, which requires clarification for accurate valuation and buyer confidence.
With a lot size of 3074 sqft, the property offers limited outdoor space, which may not appeal to buyers seeking larger private grounds or extensive landscaping opportunities typical of some canyon properties.
The property description does not mention a central cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during warmer months in Southern California, potentially requiring future installation.
Wake up to a stunning panoramic view in this bright, spacious two bedroom + office, two bathroom retreat in the serene canyon woodlands of this sparsely populated coastal community.
