The large primary bedroom offers two elegant chateau-style windows and plenty of natural light. Enjoy single-level living with no-step entry for easy accessibility. The bathroom is ADA-friendly, featuring a 36-inch wide door, grab bars, and a dual shower head for comfort and safety. A generous 16x30 bonus attic room provides versatile space — perfect for a home office, guest room, or hobby area. Step outside to a tranquil backyard oasis with lemon and mandarin trees, grapevines, and a fully fenced yard ideal for pets and outdoor entertaining. The drought-tolerant front yard showcases native landscaping for low maintenance and water savings. This home includes a 1-year-old leased solar system and a whole-house battery, which together dramatically reduce your PG&E bill. Additional upgrades include a new roof (1 year old), gas floor furnace, window A/C units, and ceiling fans throughout for year-round comfort. The property also features a 351 sq. ft. Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with a gas wall furnace, two window A/C units, LED lighting, and a private enclosed yard — perfect for rental income, guests, or multigenerational living. This is a splitable lot, offering a rare opportunity to add another ADU or investment unit. The home is back on market at no fault of the seller and was previously appraised at value with no repairs required. The owner may carry financing for qualified buyers.
