Property Description
So many good features at an excellent price. VERY interesting property. 20x28 addition is open and feels nice. Definitely NOT a tract home.. Lot can have as much privacy as you wish with a tad of fencing. Street is low traffic. Home has great utilities: 2 Different kinds of water: local private system or public system. ABUNDANT. No propane tanks to fiddle with as home is served by natural gas line. No septic tanks to empty, or set back from, thanks to public sewer. Side yard could use an owners touch, but has great bones: KOI pond. 5 Fruit trees. Terraced features. Huge escalonia hedge for privacy. Several sheds for tools, washer and dryer, and storage. Carport. Deck. Wood stove. Insulation is premium blown foam, plus all new dual pane windows.
