Property Description

This darling 1948 bungalow is the home of artists who have loved its work/studio spaces, privacy & garden. Both 2 car garage & xtra out-building/office are used as studios & open to the private back yard, not to the street. They've planted fruit trees, vines & veggies (see list). Discrete whole house solar means NO electric bills with added value(see below).Orig.40's charm + remodeled entertainers' kitchen.Excellent location. Walk to LM Village,Dale Elem.& Helix High. Read supplmt for expanded details. See attachment for Sq.footage. Solar company says SDG&E is supposed to start paying for unused units generated,adding tremendous value, in addition to the peace of mind of knowing you won't have electric bills or need to pay to install solar. Sellers' electric bills were previously $340/mo with their use of potters' kilns. Now they are zero! Cost of electricity goes up approx 6% a year. You do the math! Buyers can subtract that from their monthly budget! This house has all the 1940's charm of hardwood floors, step-arched entry to dining room & family rooms, and wonderful, originally textured lath & plaster walls. The kitchen has been remodeled with solid blond oak cabinets, a breakfast bar, ample counter space,and is open to family room and formal dining room, making it ideal for entertaining a flowing congregation of guests/sous chefs :) The owners have really enjoyed their fruit trees and vegetable garden. Move in and enjoy spring blossoms and this year's harvest right away. Fruit trees include orange, mandarin, lemon, lime pomegranate and apricot trees, a raspberry bush, plus Concord grape and passion fruit vines. When you walk through the front door you can look all the way to the back yard through the wall of windows in the family room (which was there when seller bought it, but not showing in assessor's sq. footage.)Windows throughout the house are dual pane with life-time warranty. Sellers say attic insulation keeps the house cool in summer, the neighborhood is safe and kid-friendly, plus you have easy access to freeways, grocery store and post office. What a great starter home!
