Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Views & Hilltop Location: Offers sweeping forest and city views from a high hilltop position, enhanced by dramatic windows, providing an exceptional aesthetic and sense of privacy.
Extensive Renovations & Luxury Amenities: Recently renovated with high-end features including a Viking kitchen, spa-like bathrooms with heated floors and sauna, and modern comfort systems like Daikin mini-splits.
Detached ADU for Guest Accommodation: Includes a private, detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with its own bedroom, bathroom, deck, and parking, ideal for guests, rental income, or a private office.
Spacious Multi-Parcel Lot & Outdoor Living: Spans three parcels totaling 0.71 acres, featuring extensive outdoor living spaces with a Trex deck, professional BBQ station, premium fencing, and ample parking for 12+ vehicles.
Turnkey & Fully Furnished: Offered completely furnished with high-end Restoration Hardware pieces, curated housewares, and a baby grand piano, providing an immediate, luxurious, and hassle-free move-in experience.

Cons

Original Construction Age: Built in 1959, the underlying structure is over 60 years old, which, despite renovations, may present long-term maintenance considerations or require specific insurance.
Limited Primary Residence Bedrooms: The main residence features only one dedicated bedroom (plus a bonus room and loft), which might not suit buyers requiring multiple traditional bedrooms within the primary living space.
Modest Interior Square Footage: With 1549 sqft spread across two structures, the overall interior living space is relatively modest for the expansive lot size and price point, potentially limiting appeal for those desiring larger indoor areas.
