Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is 48 years old (built 1976) and retains most of its original era-specific features, including 1970s orange kitchen tiles and a turquoise sunken tub. While the home appears well-maintained and functional, the kitchen, bathrooms, and interior finishes are significantly dated and require modernization to meet current market standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 43560, living area = 2494.
The property features a fully equipped detached guest house with a full kitchen, bedroom, and private deck, providing an excellent opportunity for rental income or a secluded retreat for guests.
Situated on nearly an acre of sun-drenched land, the grounds offer a serene environment with whimsical gardens, pebble paths, a yoga area, and a wraparound deck with a built-in hot tub.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2494, other record living area = 1817. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 2.
The eclectic interior style, characterized by bright orange kitchen tiles and heavy wood paneling, may require significant updates to appeal to buyers seeking a more modern or neutral palette.
With 99 days on the market and three consecutive price reductions from the original $2.064M list price, the property has struggled to gain traction, suggesting a misalignment with current market expectations.
The moment you arrive, you know this is not like anywhere else you've been. Ivy twists up a warm brick facade, past lace curtains and painted shutters. Built in 1976 and suffused with the organic warmth of that era, this single-level home sits on nearly an acre of sun-drenched land where birdsong and fountain tinkle are the only sounds that reach you. A massive double-sided river rock fireplace anchors a sunken living room where wall-to-wall windows slide open onto a wraparound deck with a built-in hot tub. Keep walking, and find yourself amid gardens of breathtaking whimsy: pebble paths winding through succulents and wildflowers, rust-patinated iron sculptures, and a covered yoga area. Bright orange kitchen tiles, wood paneling, and earth tones create an eclectic yet cohesive interior. Nothing prepares you for the primary bathroom: river rock walls, a sunken turquoise-tiled tub, and a window framing sculptural driftwood. It feels like a grotto. A detached guest house awaits with a full kitchen, family room, dining area, private bedroom, and its own deck. Perfect as a rental income opportunity or a retreat for visiting family. This spectacular property makes you reconsider what a home can be.
