A+, Affordable, and Adorable single-story home on a flat and useable 1/3 acre lot. This unique home is pristine and ready for you to move in and enjoy. Upgrades include hardwood flooring, moldings, vinyl windows, and fresh paint. Enjoy a bonus “detached studio” that can be used as a guest room, office, workout room, or crafting space. Need RV/boat parking? This property has an anchored, 42 ft long, galvanized tube frame garage for all your storage needs. The backyard is a magical space and perfect for entertaining. The centerpiece of this backyard is a 60+-year-old Fuerte avocado tree that produces fruit and provides shade. Follow the winding path that leads you to two separate patio areas for relaxing. Rinse off after returning home from the beach in the outdoor solar-heated shower. Continue around the pathway and discover raised garden beds for growing your own veggies, succulents, and tropical plants including plumerias of many colors. There are many exotic fruit trees including pineapple guava, mission fig, dragon fruit, bananas, and pomegranate. Oh, and don’t forget the Mexican limes for margaritas or a cold beer! An industrial, automatic watering system takes care of the whole yard. Plus they collect rainwater underground which also waters some of the garden area. There is a storage shed for gardening tools and laundry is in the single car garage attached to the home.
