With its own substantial living area and direct access to the pool and backyard, the lower level offers exceptional possibilities for multigenerational living, extended family, adult children, long-term guests, work-from-home needs or simply creating a private retreat within the home. The expansive grounds feature mature landscaping, artificial turf and a thriving irrigated orchard with numerous fruit trees. Additional improvements include new composite siding, new-construction windows and sliding doors, two efficient HVAC systems with updated ductwork and venting, 32 owned solar panels and an on-demand electric water heater.
