The HVAC unit was replaced in October, providing the new owner with significant immediate value and peace of mind regarding major system maintenance.
Its close proximity to the University of California, Merced, makes this property a prime opportunity for faculty, staff, or investors looking for high rental demand.
The home boasts elegant flooring, custom shutters, and dual sliding glass doors that create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection from both the living room and the primary suite.
