New flooring/lighting/paint. 200A elec. 2 living areas, DR w/buffet, HUGE walk-in pantry & laundry room. Would be a GREAT turnkey AirBnb/vacation rental. SEE SUPPLEMENT & DOC TAB 4 SO MUCH MORE The Sunshine Home
Newer roof, newer HVAC and the AC blows ice cold as they say! BRAND NEW MAIN SEWER LINE from home to alley w/2 year warranty by licensed plumber! HUGE Capital Expense paid by Seller so you won't have to!
Newer $55k Great Room & Patio Addition:
Newer (2009) open-concept 400sq ft permitted second living/family/game/great room addition means not only do you have a front living room but a second separate living area as well. The stucco-clad addition has an 8' sliding door to the attached covered patio, built at the same time. It also has a separate entrance off the sideyard so it'd be possible to split the addition and put in a 5th bedroom (with bath?) with its own entrance if desired.
Rare Newer Patio:
Off the back great room, you'll find an enormous 15' x 17' (255sq ft) newer custom covered patio facing North & East (meaning the patio stays extra cool and has a ceiling fan too)! Unlike standard covered patios in the area, this one is on a corner & has two walls, which makes it easy and comfortable to use this space year-round--rain or shine. Patio is also permitted and unlike anything else you'll find around. Thick, raised concrete pad perfect for an outdoor living room and/or a hot tub! Electrical there for a TV as well. Easy to install a misting system there too. The patio & great room additions were over $55k alone!
The Area's Most Desirable SHED:
Unbelievable $12k++, 185sq ft CUSTOM-BUILT, FULLY FINISHED and AIR-CONDITIONED SHED w/Vaulted Ceilings & Skylights, matching home's roofline, shingles & siding. Workout room (w/AC!), man-cave/she-shed/workshop/office/storage/possible casita?? Interior is finished w/high-end wood panels and tons of electrical outlets inside & out. Since it's on the North side of the home it stays cool year-round. Huge 48" wide steel door means you can get your equipment in and out easily! And it's completely walled-in for extra security & privacy. Extra cabinets in the shed convey so you can use them where you wish.
A Lot You'll Love A Lot:
Huge lot (almost 10k sq ft or 1/4 acre), larger than most in area. This means plenty of room for expansion and lots of privacy.
Backyard = Outdoor Living & Playing:
The East-facing (super important!) backyard is plenty large enough for a pool, chicken coop and/or urban garden (formerly SE corner contained both a garden & chicken coop so the soil is ready for both!). You could even add an RV gate in the back wall!
Not only is this an oversized lot, it's NOT a square lot. Meaning you have more privacy from your neighbors than almost any other similar home in the area. Alley in back = even further distance from other homes. And contractors can use the alley to access your backyard for projects!
Backyard faces East, Master Suite also faces East & its windows are under the covered patio, so it stays extra cool.
New & extended-height block walls for privacy. Your backyard is now completely private. Since you back to a locked-off alley (only owners & authorized contractors have access), your home is plenty private.
Front Yard Is Your Fruit Yard:
Five producing fruit trees (Meyer lemon, tangerine (2), peach (small tree in backyard - and they're tasty!) and one unknown - maybe apple), 13 rose shrubs & many other mature and maturing trees and plants. Have you seen the price of 6' fruit trees these days? Like $4,000 EACH!
Front patio is covered + there's another brick paver patio in front, amongst your mature trees and flowers. This patio is perfect for a outdoor living furniture, for morning coffee or evening sunsets.
Out front, you'll also enjoy the shade from one of the largest pine trees around. The South Side yard features fruit trees and a nice grassy area, while the front yard has classy and colorful rock landscaping, mature trees, bushes, shrubs, roses and more.
Gotta Love Covered Parking:
The two-plus car carport is generously sized (20'x20') and could easily be enclosed to create a full 2 car garage.
New MILLION DOLLAR Style Kitchen & Dining Area:
Good luck finding this level of "million-dollar home" kitchen anywhere else in the area! The cabinets & appliances literally came from a million dollar++ home. 42" Uppers with some Glass Cabinets. Recycling pull-out next to dishwasher.
Solid wood custom cabinetry, island features soft-close drawers. Built-in buffet in dining area with custom base and wall cabinetry and Quartz countertops.
High-end, custom fabricated, brand new Arizona Tile Daltile Quartz (Cape Cod color) and a beautiful and rare "Typhoon Bordeaux" Granite Island (seats 4!).
GE Profile 48" Refrigerator (PSB48LSRABV) with Ice & Water Dispenser. Over $7k new! And the compressor and fan are brand new (replaced under prior owner's home warranty by authorized technician). 30 cu ft of space!
