Unique Outdoor Amenities: The backyard features a hillside terraced section for gardening with mature trees and space for vegetables, a generous storage shed, and a private outdoor bocce ball court, offering diverse recreational opportunities.

Cons

Significant Price Discrepancy: The current listing price is considerably higher than the estimated property value, which may indicate an aggressive pricing strategy or potential overvaluation, possibly affecting market interest and negotiation.
Lot Topography and Maintenance: The description mentions a 'hillside terraced section' and stairs to access parts of the backyard, suggesting a sloped lot which could entail higher landscaping maintenance costs and potentially limit flat, usable yard space.
Lack of Specific HVAC Information: Despite an extensive remodel, the property description does not explicitly mention the presence or type of modern HVAC system (e.g., central air conditioning), which is a crucial amenity for comfort in the California climate.
