Property is move-in ready.
The property is in move-in ready condition and has been exceptionally well-maintained since its 1996 construction. The chef's kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances and a center island, while the interior boasts quality inlaid oak flooring and updated lighting. Although some aesthetic choices in the bathrooms and kitchen (such as the dark wood cabinetry and green marble) reflect styles from a previous decade rather than a brand-new renovation, the overall quality, functional solar system, and lack of visible deferred maintenance firmly place it in the 'good' category.
The high-end kitchen features a 6-burner gas range, double ovens, and a center island, seamlessly connecting to an outdoor kitchen for a premium entertaining experience.
The lower level offers a private office and a fourth bedroom with separate exterior ingress, providing excellent potential for a guest suite, rental, or multi-generational living.
Built in 1996, this home offers more modern structural integrity than many area properties and includes a solar system to reduce energy costs.
The three-story layout requires navigating significant stairs between the primary suite, main living areas, and lower level, which may not suit buyers with mobility concerns.
Situated in the Claremont Hills, the property is located in a high-fire-risk zone, which typically results in higher insurance premiums and strict vegetation management requirements.
Refined Claremont Hills retreat, where elegance, comfort & modern functionality meet. The main level offers spacious living & dining rooms featuring inlaid oak floors & mullioned windows framing serene treetop views. The chef’s kitchen is a dream, with high-end appliances: 6-burner gas range with griddle, double ovens, center island & breakfast bar.
