This Spacious Private Estate represents a Strong Value Opportunity, listed at $1,429,000—positioned well below the $1,530,391 Fair Market Value by 6%. This valuation gap provides $101,391 in Instant Equity. Featuring a Gourmet Chef's Kitchen with Viking appliances and a Versatile Guest Unit, the home maintains a Condition Rating of 4. While the 1936 infrastructure suggests potential for cosmetic updates, the expansive 34,470 sqft lot and lush views offer significant long-term upside. This is an ideal acquisition for Buy-and-Hold Investors or Owner-Occupants seeking a unique, nature-focused sanctuary.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
While the home features high-end Viking appliances and custom cherry cabinetry, the overall aesthetic—including the specific granite, cabinetry style, and green carpeting—indicates a renovation likely performed 15-25 years ago. The exterior wood decking and pergola show signs of weathering and age, suggesting the property is functional but dated and in need of cosmetic updates and minor repairs.
The property sits on a massive 34,470 sqft lot, offering a rare 'enchanted' private estate feel with lush landscaping, fruit trees, and a koi pond that provides ultimate privacy.
The interior features a high-end kitchen equipped with Viking appliances, custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and dual-zone wine storage, catering to luxury standards.
A separate guest unit behind the garage with its own private entrance and bathroom offers excellent potential for multi-generational living, a home office, or rental income.
With only 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for a $1.4M+ price point and nearly 35,000 sqft of land, the home may feel undersized for larger families or buyers expecting more suites.
Originally built in 1936, the property may present challenges related to older plumbing, electrical, or foundation systems common in homes of this era despite modern interior updates.
