Property details

About 653 Hidden Valley Rd

Engaging postmodern home with land to spare, located just outside city limits and in close proximity to shopping, restaurants, beaches and other desirable ILM areas. Material updating includes roof covering, windows, exterior doors, expanded deck, crawlspace encapsulation, water heater, floor coverings and more. Seller's big-ticket improvements free up time and resources for new owners to personalize and reflect their vision (not a flipper's vision). 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 ''No'' to City Taxes, ''No'' to Home Owner Associations, ''No'' to Crowding, ''No'' to High Price Tag, ''No'' to Cookie Cutters; all the good ''No''(s) in one place. Certainly, worth a closer look if you've been waiting for something unique, private and budget friendly.
