The current homeowner's loss can be your gain. Amazing opportunity full of potential. Located just one block from the Apple Valley Golf Course in the very desirable and sought after Desert Knolls area of Apple Valley, this house is now ready to be made beautiful again and customized by you to exactly how you want it. Before the fire the homeowners had just completed a remodel and the house was move-in ready with new windows, roof, solar tubes, HVAC, solar on roof, new LVP floors (that may clean up nicely as they're pretty much indestructible), new cabinets galore in extra large dining room, breakfast nook, and laundry room (that look like they can be cleaned up, but ''may'' need painting). An unfortunate fire in the garage has destroyed the garage and some of the attic; so the garage, trusses and roof will need to be replaced. Some of the inside walls ''may'' need to be taken down to the studs due to ''possible'' water damage from the fire hoses. It will be up to your contractor to evaluate the exact repair needs of the house. Engineering plans, awesome blueprints for 2900 sq ft 4 bed/3 bath floor plan, and just issued Town of Apple Valley permits for repairing this home are already completed and paid for. This property is a perfect sized 3/4 acre (big enough for privacy, not too big to maintain) that is a corner property that has a very rare city street light on the corner to help with security. This property is completely fenced and crossed fenced to separate the pool area from other yard areas. There are two remote controlled power gates on the front circular driveway. The fencing around the backyard pool area is a beautiful 6' tall slump-stone block wall for swimming privacy. If you have dogs, there's another backyard area that is perfect for them via a doggie door from the pool access bathroom. The immediate backyard is a private oasis with a pool, faux lawn around pool area, gazebo with fan and Edison lights, pergola, and covered patio area. There is an enclosed patio that can be used to store pool toys and towels, or it can possibly be used as 400 more sq ft of living space by adding a mini-split AC/heating unit. This house has 2x6 exterior walls with nearly new, beautiful black windows. There is gorgeous custom solid oak woodwork throughout (including a wall of built-in solid oak bookshelves that includes a roll-top desk in the middle) that can be cleaned and kept, or painted/replaced to your taste.
