Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and exceptionally well-maintained. While the kitchen and bathrooms feature dated styles—specifically oak cabinetry and laminate countertops—the home has undergone significant infrastructure updates including a newer roof, HVAC, and windows (circa 2008). The addition of a 22kW whole-house generator, insulated interior walls, and well-kept flooring throughout supports a high level of functional quality despite the original 1978 build date.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 43560, living area = 1794.
High School: Colfax High School (9/10).
The property is exceptionally well-prepared for rural living with a 22kW whole-house generator and significant 2008 updates including a newer roof, HVAC system, and windows.
While the roof, HVAC, and windows were updated, those improvements are now approximately 16-18 years old and may be approaching the end of their typical service life.
The property's secluded location in Foresthill requires a significant drive for daily errands and is over 9 miles away from the highly-rated Colfax High School.
