Property is move-in ready.
Built in 2005 (21 years old), the property is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready. While the kitchen and bathrooms retain original granite and tile finishes from the build date, the home features updated wood-look flooring in the bedrooms and office. The inclusion of a modern Level 2 EV charger and the pristine condition of the pool and landscaping justify a 'Good' rating over 'Fair' despite being slightly over the 20-year mark.
The inclusion of a dedicated Level 2 EV charger with a J1772 interface in the garage is a significant modern upgrade that appeals to the growing demographic of electric vehicle owners.
With 2,643 sqft of living space and a nearly 10,000 sqft lot, the property features an open floor plan and mountain views that seamlessly integrate the interior with a private backyard oasis.
Situated on an interior lot within the prestigious Rancho Santana community, the home offers enhanced privacy and quietude compared to perimeter properties, while maintaining a low HOA fee.
The property has been on the market for 71 days with two price reductions, suggesting that the initial list price exceeded market expectations and may lead to further negotiations.
The assigned elementary, middle, and high schools all carry a rating of 3, which may be a deterrent for families prioritizing high-performing educational environments.
