About this House

Built in 2021 and barely broken in, 248 Shafer Ave offers 3 beds, 3 baths, and 1,555 square feet of clean, modern living. The solar system is fully paid off — no lease, no panel loan to assume — which can help keep energy costs down. Inside, oversized closets handle everything you've got and then some. Set on a low-maintenance 2,377 sq ft lot in North Merced, you're minutes from UC Merced, the hospital, and shopping — everything close, nothing in the way. A rare combination of newer construction, smart energy savings, and an unbeatable location. Comfortable, low-maintenance, and ready for its next owner.
