The home
About 708 Avenida Columbo
Close your eyes. Take a deep breath and listen closely. All you hear up here are the birds and the breeze. If location is the most important thing in real estate, this home hits a bullseye. Nestled very high on a hill, away from the hustle and bustle of town, with an expansive open canyon behind you. The peace and quiet is almost deafening. If you enjoy the tranquility of nature, this is the home for you. Watch the hawks soar above you and keep your eye out for the occasional deer that have been seen out your back windows. This is an incredible setting that you take advantage of as you turn this home into your own slice of paradise. Approx. 2200 square feet with 3 bedrooms that all have their own private balcony. The front of the home is huge with possible RV access for those with toys. Yes, it does need some work as it is mostly original condition with the exception of the kitchen. The kitchen has been remodeled with granite counters and soft closing cabinets. But at this price, with this peaceful location, this is a great value and a chance for someone to come in and earn some sweat equity. There are very few detached, single family residences in town under this price. So come on up the hill and experience the birds and the breeze. There are no HOA's or Mello Roos here so you have the freedom from those restrictions. This is a great opportunity to get into a home and make it over just as you wish. Property to be sold "AS IS". Seller to make no repairs.
