A rare find inside city limits. This secluded gem sits on nearly 1/4-acre lot with ample yard, asphalt parking for multiple cars, and many blooming fruit trees. Completely updated with fresh paint, new flooring, stylish lighting, and new Whirlpool appliances. The open-concept kitchen with beautiful Quartz counters is designed for the home chef, complemented by can lighting that brightens the entire workspace. The Quartz counters continue in both bathrooms for a chic and comprehensive aesthetic. French doors featured throughout open up the space to a large flex room that can function as an extra bedroom, an office, or a dedicated media room. The expansive high ceilings really open up the space, as does the wraparound yard which is enclosed by a private fence. This is truly a must see for the owner who wants space, privacy and a beautiful place to call home. The location couldn't be more convenient, as it sits within a stone's throw of Merced College and UC Merced, as well as nearby shopping centers full of restaurants, grocery stores, and coffee shops. Come see it for yourself.

RP-D
Residential Planned Development District
The purpose of the planned development (P-D) zoning districts is to allow for high quality development that deviates from standards and regulations applicable to other zoning districts within Merced. The planned development zoning districts are intended to promote creativity in building design, flexibility in permitted land uses, and innovation in development concepts. The planned development zoning districts are also intended to ensure project consistency with the general plan. Planned development zoning districts provide land owners with enhanced flexibility to take advantage of unique site characteristics to develop projects that will provide public benefits for residents, employees, and visitors to Merced.
