Situated on an extra-large, fully fenced lot, this beautifully updated property offers exceptional space, privacy, and versatility. The expansive yard features mature lemon, apricot, and pomegranate trees, abundant outdoor space for entertaining, gardening, pets, or play, and plenty of room for gated boat, RV, and additional vehicle parking behind a secure electric gate with remote control operation. The detached 2-car garage provides ample parking and storage, while a dedicated laundry room and added pantry space enhance everyday functionality. A valuable bonus room is located on the lower level with separate exterior access and is not reflected in the tax records. This flexible space is ideal for a home office, gym, playroom, hobby room, guest retreat, or additional storage. Recent improvements include central A/C installation (2022), a fully owned 13-panel solar system (2022), solar tubes in the kitchen (2022), hardwood flooring (2022), a dedicated laundry room (2023), added pantry storage (2023), fresh exterior paint (2023), and a spacious new deck (2024) perfect for outdoor entertaining. A partial new fence was also completed in 2025. The large lot offers exciting possibilities for future use, including potential ADU development or expansion opportunities (buyer to verify all zoning, permitting, and development possibilities with the appropriate agencies). With modern updates, energy-efficient features including PAID SOLAR, abundant storage, flexible living space, and exceptional outdoor amenities, this move-in-ready property presents a rare opportunity.
