Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1996, this property is well-maintained but shows its age with original finishes that have not been updated in nearly 30 years. The 'country-style' kitchen features dated tile countertops and older white appliances, and the overall aesthetic—including the Saltillo tile and light fixtures—reflects the construction era rather than current modern standards. It meets the 'fair' criteria as an aged home maintained through regular upkeep but requiring cosmetic updates to meet modern luxury expectations.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 94089, living area = 2983.
Sitting on over 2 acres of usable land, this estate offers rare development potential for an ADU, swimming pool, or sports court, providing significant long-term value.
Tucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac and surrounded by mature oak woodlands and native landscaping, the property offers exceptional privacy and a serene connection to nature.
Situated in Mission Canyon, the property is located in a high-fire-hazard severity zone, which may lead to increased insurance costs and stricter vegetation management requirements.
