More Insights

Built in 1985 (41 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1985, features a main residence that is exceptionally well-maintained with high-quality, albeit traditional, finishes like Saltillo tile and custom-tiled baths. While the main kitchen's tiled countertops are a dated style, the appliances are high-end (Wolf range) and the overall condition is pristine. Crucially, the fully independent second residence (2750 Calzada Avenue) has been extensively and recently renovated, showcasing modern kitchens with new cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, contemporary bathrooms with glass showers and stylish vanities, and new wood flooring throughout. This significant, modern renovation of a substantial portion of the property, combined with the immaculate condition and high-end nature of the main residence, elevates the overall property's condition to excellent, meeting the criteria of being 'extensively renovated within 5 years' for a significant part of the living space and being move-in ready with virtually new components in the second residence.

Pros & Cons

Multi-Generational Living & Income Potential: Features a substantial main residence, a private guest casita, and a fully independent second residence on its own parcel, ideal for extended family, staff, or potential rental income.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =958320, other record lot size in square feet = 653400. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 6, other record bedroom count = 7.
Premium Price Point: The $10.75 million asking price targets a very niche buyer pool, potentially leading to a longer marketing period compared to properties in lower price brackets.
Ongoing Maintenance & Operational Costs: The extensive acreage, multiple structures, and luxury amenities (pool, tennis court, wells) will require significant ongoing maintenance and operational expenses.
Potential for System Updates: While architecturally significant, the 1985 construction date suggests that some core systems may be original or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially requiring future capital expenditures.
