Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although built in 1996, the property meets the criteria for excellent condition due to extensive renovations within the last 5 years. Major systems were recently replaced, including the roof (2023), HVAC (2022), and tankless water heater (2023), alongside the addition of a large owned solar system. The interior features a fully updated kitchen with modern shaker cabinetry and stone countertops, updated flooring throughout, and a high-end primary bathroom remodel featuring a curbless walk-in shower and standalone soaking tub.
The property features a massive 9.25 kW owned solar system grandfathered into NEM 2.0, a new roof (2023), new AC (2022), and a tankless water heater, ensuring minimal utility costs and low immediate maintenance.
The absence of both HOA fees and Mello-Roos assessments is a significant rarity for this area, providing the homeowner with substantially lower monthly carrying costs and increased purchasing power.
Situated on a quiet corner lot within walking distance to top-rated schools and parks, the home offers a private backyard retreat with fruit trees and a primary suite balcony with scenic city and hill views.
With a list price of $1.19M for 1,746 square feet, the property sits at a high price point per square foot, which may be a concern for buyers prioritizing interior volume and space.
Fitting four bedrooms into under 1,800 square feet suggests that individual room sizes or common living areas may feel constrained, potentially limiting furniture configurations for larger families.
The perfect location! Close to grocery stores, restaurants, schools, hospitals, hiking trails, lakes and so many parks. The house sits on a quiet corner with lots of available parking. The backyard has a relaxing gazebo under a huge shade tree surrounded by multiple fruit trees. A second story balcony off the primary bedroom features city views with the local hills as a backdrop. A first floor bedroom/ office/ media room is currently outfitted with a built-in loft bed. The second floor features two secondary bedrooms and a primary suite with a retreat, walk-in closet, curbless shower and soaking tub. The roof was redone in 2023 and features 9.25 Kilowatts of OWNED SOLAR that is grandfathered into NEM 2.0 for future owners. This huge solar setup makes more electricity than the house uses. New Tankless water heater in 2023 and new AC unit in 2022. No HOA or Mello/Roos.
No exterior & parking available.
