New Price! Motivated Sellers! This stunning, energy-efficient 2023 custom-built home in Lower Paradise offers comfort, quality, and long-term value. Nestled on a fully landscaped and fenced 1-acre lot, this 1,788 sq ft residence features 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a smart open-concept design perfect for modern living. Built by a respected local contractor as his personal home, no detail was overlooked.
This property exceeds energy efficiency standards with R-60 attic insulation, owned 8kW solar, and incredibly low PGE bills— just $24-$35/month. Add to that a fire insurance policy through Mercury for only $700/year, and you’ll enjoy unbeatable cost savings and peace of mind.
Step inside to a bright, airy interior featuring a large chef’s kitchen with stainless appliances, a huge island, two pantries, and custom cabinetry with pullouts galore. The kitchen flows into the living area with high ceilings, a cozy gas fireplace with stone surround, and large windows adorned with plantation shutters and custom trim. Enjoy meals in the formal dining room or take in the views from one of two covered patios.
The primary suite is a true retreat with a private covered patio, large walk-in closet, soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual-sink vanity, and custom linen storage. Each bedroom offers generous space, solid-core doors for privacy, and custom closets. The laundry room is fully outfitted with extra fridge/freezer space, built-in hamper, drying rods, and abundant storage.
The outdoor space is a gardener’s dream with irrigated lawn, raised beds, fruit trees, grapevines, and privacy fencing. There’s RV/boat parking, and the driveway is prepped for an electric gate. The oversized 2-car garage features shop space, storage, utility sink, and water filtration system.
A rare bonus: two addresses on one APN, approved for additional structures. Located a short walk to the park, ball field, and aquatic center. This turn-key home offers energy savings, thoughtful design, and investment potential—all in one incredible package.
