About this home

Location, Location, Location! First time on the market since 1966, this Mt. Helix property is on nearly an acre of land, fenced and gated for privacy. Built in 1936 by Abbott & Huston, with numerous upgrades, the 2,023 sq ft. home offers 3 bedrooms—each with walk-in closets—2 remodeled baths, and a full basement with separate entrance and bath which could be used as a hobby area, playroom, or even a rental or in-law suite. An updated kitchen, with skylight and solid wood cabinetry, flows into the great room with vaulted ceilings, fireplace, view deck, and access to an enclosed patio. The property’s award worthy mature landscape is a peaceful and private garden paradise offering room to roam and featuring numerous varieties of trees loved by both nesting hawks and flocks of wild parrots. Along with a tea house, custom potting area, barn/tack room, and detached 2-car garage, the property can accommodate RVs, trailers, and toys. The home has a new GAF Title 24 compliant roof, owned solar array with battery backup, and an upgraded electrical panel (2023). Additional improvements include: sewer lines, water heater, flooring (carpet, LVP, and refinished hardwood), LED lighting, fixtures, and garage door. Zoned for animals, the property embraces the area's agrarian lifestyle. Seller flexibility may consider concessions applied to closing costs or rate buydown with a compelling offer.

Condition Rating
Excellent

Despite being built in 1936, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, with numerous major upgrades completed in 2023, including a new roof, owned solar, upgraded electrical panel, new sewer lines, water heater, and updated flooring and lighting. The kitchen is updated with solid wood cabinetry and appears clean and functional, though appliances are white rather than stainless steel. The two main bathrooms are explicitly 'remodeled' and feature modern vanities with granite/quartz countertops and contemporary tiling, indicating a high standard of recent renovation. The overall condition, especially considering the critical systems and key living areas, meets the 'extensively renovated within 5 years' criteria for an excellent rating.

Cons

Age of Original Structure: Despite numerous upgrades, the home's original construction date of 1936 may present potential for unforeseen maintenance or require further modernization beyond the current improvements.
Above Estimated Market Value: The current listing price is approximately 12% higher than the property's estimated value, which could impact buyer interest and negotiation leverage.
Modest Living Space for Lot Size: At 2,023 sq ft on nearly an acre, some buyers may find the primary living area relatively modest compared to the expansive lot size and price point, especially if seeking a larger primary residence.
