Showing and Remarks
  • Supplement Remarks: Central heat and air conditioning with a new smart thermostat, plus a whole house fan and an automatic attic fan keep the house comfortable throughout the year, plus the large living room ceiling fan with remote and ceiling fans with lights in every bedroom provide added comfort. All windows are dual-paned and energy efficient, providing added cost savings, comfort and quiet. Full-sized newer front loading washer with steam and electric dryer also convey, along with a new (stil in unopened box) hybrid (heat pump/element) water heater, that requires a new dedicated electrical connection. Other new items include a smart video doorbell, carbon monoxide detector, designer switches with dining room dimmer, motion activated hall, stairway and kitchen under-cabinet lights. Motion activated security lights at the garage, stairs and front door. Solar lights in the front planter and along the driveway. Low maintenance, mostly succulent, landscaping with low water demand. This amazing property is move-in ready with opportunities to make finishing touches at your leisure. Priced below market, sellers are motivated to sacrifice it as they downsize.
