The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7841, living area = 1488.
The interior sewer lines were completely redone less than two years ago, providing significant peace of mind and reducing potential long-term maintenance costs for the next owner.
The property features convenient RV access, a spacious Tuff Shed for storage or a workshop, and mature fruit trees, maximizing the utility of the generous 7,841 sqft lot.
