$34,000 price reduction leaves plenty of room for a capable home buyer to make this gem shine. If you're not handy, but can recognize an opportunity and be happy just this side of perfection; give yourself permission to move right into this very livable home and back-burner the to-do list (like we all do). If you have been looking for a cookie cutter home, this is not the one for you. Hidden Valley is a unique community with just one road, postmodern homes and land to spare; located just outside city limits and in close proximity to shopping, restaurants, beaches and right where you want to be. Updating includes vinyl windows, exterior doors, expanded deck, crawlspace encapsulation, water heater, floor coverings and so on... Seller's big-ticket improvements have taken the home a long way on its path, improving livability and giving those who want to continue a valuable head start. The home is well positioned on .64 acres, leaving plenty of room for garden, garage, shop, pool, boats, RV and more. County zoning even allows a carriage house or garage apartment up to 1,200 sqft; build and then choose one residence to live in, and one to rent. You can say Goodbye to city taxes, Goodbye to homeowner associations, Goodbye to crowding, Goodbye to high price tag, Goodbye to cookie cutters; all the testy Goodbyes are behind you, say Hello and spark a new chapter.
