Back on the market with brand-new backyard access!
After listening to buyer feedback, the sellers temporarily withdrew the home, relocated the Well and HVAC, and added a new rear garage door—creating a true drive-through option for an SUV or car into the backyard. This upgrade opens the door for easier access, equipment, projects, or even a future ADU.
Beautifully renovated from top to bottom, this move-in-ready 1960s home features brand-new light oak vinyl plank floors, stunning stone countertops, fresh interior and exterior paint, and a new roof. Updated lighting brightens every room, while the cozy corner wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character.
The spacious kitchen blends original 1960s charm with modern updates. Well-maintained vintage cabinets are refreshed with new hardware and paired with new appliances and stone counters. Just off the kitchen and dining area, a versatile bonus room makes an ideal game room, office, workout space, or whatever fits your lifestyle.
Sitting on 1.2 acres and zoned Very Low Density Residential (VLDR), this property allows for up to two mature horses without needing a minor use permit—a rare opportunity for anyone with equestrian interests.
Outside, the oversized yard includes multiple shops and sheds offering endless potential. One of the shops could even be converted into an ADU or possibly a second unit, creating space for guests, multigenerational living, or rental income. Whether you need storage, a workshop, or room to expand, the options are wide open.
This property offers a hard-to-find combination of charm, updates, acreage, and usable space—ready for its next owner to make it their own.
