Property Description
|
|
Hiding behind the exterior of a California Ranch-style home is an extraordinary property! Boasting astonishingly low utilities bills, the home actually has been known to go off the grid altogether. Combining solar and wind technology to lower electrical costs, this house also contains a solar hot water heating system that includes a tankless hot water heater for reserves.
Through the front door, you'll notice the tile entry and hardwood flooring stretching throughout the home. To the right, the upgraded kitchen welcomes you with extensive tile counters, extensive custom oak cabinets and a pass-through into the neighboring dining area. Leaded glass doors can be shut to close off the kitchen while entertaining. It's a great place to whip up a special meal for friends or teach children the delights of making Jell-O animals!
The living room includes a wood-burning fireplace and, with expansive views of the rear yard, is a wonderful place to curl up with a book, hot chocolate and presto-log fire for those cool autumn evenings! Down the hall are the three carpeted bedrooms and 2 full baths. A built-in Murphy bed stands ready in one of the bedrooms in case an extra bed is needed.
Boasting an extensive rear yard, there are many bonus features in the out-back! A waterfall graces the yard and provides the soothing sound of running water. A shed stands ready to hold outdoor necessities. A gated area provides protection and a large patio includes a cover to protect from the sun. Fruit trees mingle with the landscaping. An added benefit - a well stands by ready to provide irrigation for the yard's irrigation system!
Like woodworking? You've found your home! At the rear of the lot is an extensive 400 sq/ft woodworking shop, including its own power, solar array and dust removal system featuring a large cyclone dust collector! Counters and shelves stand ready to serve. It's a dream for anyone who loves to work with their hands. And as a bonus, the garage includes a metal lathe!
Other features include dual pane windows, new furnace and air conditioning, built-in vacuum system - there's so much more here than initially meets the eye! This special, one-of-a-kind home is actually only missing one thing ... YOU!
