Property Description

New Price. House was built when they still knew how to build good homes. It has 3/4" oak flooring which had never been touched when the owners bought it in 1982. In 1999 the owners sailed to Mexico & fell in love with the colors & the culture & brought that back to Merced, turning their home into a home with all the colors & fabric of Mexico. A shipwright took a year to turn the kitchen into a ship's galley, white oak cabinets & white a oak counter. On a ship there cannot be any sharp edges as they will hurt you as the ship rolls. Everything in this kitchen is rounded. Owners did not like the electric range & stove top & they replaced them with a modern gas Jenair appliance. The tile on the patio was meant for Mission Delores in San Francisco, but it was refused when the insurance agent said it was irregular & could not be used in a public place. It now covers the back patio. The gate and wall are Spanish design & cost over $10,000. Solar installed 5 years ago,& Owned! Bill in August only $10. The deck is hand built with heart redwood by the owner, fruit trees line the exterior of property. Auto sprinklers handle the watering. 2 car garage is fully lined with cabinets. A sun room for plants on the southern side of the house, perfect for the gardener. This house would not be for sale today, had the owner not lost his wife & this home reminds him of every day of their blessed life together. It is one of kind & will not last long on today's market.
