About This Home
As of October 2021A rare opportunity to own TWO properties for the price of one! This lovely home is being offered for sale along with the adjacent lot that measures approx 6488 sq ft.in size (APN 475-301-16-00). Located in a highly sought after neighborhood, atop a hill with spectacular views of the city and mountains, but on clear days, the view extends all the way to the ocean! Take in the view as you dine in the dining room, as you sit back in the living room or as you sip your drink on either of the two balconies. In this home, you have to work hard to avoid the gorgeous scenery! The owner has taken meticulous care of this home and spent thousands on upgrades which include a new roof in 2019, updated electrical panel, a water filtration system, dual pane windows, newer HVAC system and solar panels which are paid off! A unique and convenient feature are two large water tanks which have been used by the sellers to store rainwater used to irrigate the landscaping. The low maintenance back yard offers a small deck area and several fruit trees including loquats, orange and grapefruit trees are present in the front and side yards. The front of the property offers a spacious circular driveway and the adjacent lot which is being used for RV parking and storage. Both properties await your own special touches and imagination.This property has potential for an ADU. Buyer to Confirm.
