Property Description
Discover a home that surprises at every turn! Unassuming from the street, yet rich, warm, and beautifully updated inside. This single story 4 bed, 3 bath Modesto home sits on a corner lot and offers a rare combination of modern upgrades, energy efficiency, and flexible living spaces. And unlike all the drab, cold, colorless gray interiors these days, this home is centered around a welcoming, wood accented interior that feels both dramatic and comfortable. The home features a newer 5-ton HVAC system (2025), water softener (2024), newer flooring (2023), whole house fan, and a top-to-bottom remodel of the kitchen, bathrooms, windows, doors, electrical, and exterior stucco within the last 15 years. The spacious, open kitchenwith bar seating and a natural flow into the dining and family areasanchors the home and makes everyday living effortless. Energy costs are exceptionally low thanks to a newer, paid-for 6 kW PV solar array (2024). The 15 high performance 400W panels are American-manufactured by Qcells backed by a 25 year warranty, and the system produces so much power that MID bills show negative electricity usage during summer months. Saving $100-400/mo in utility bills is a big deal, don't you think? Outside, enjoy a private backyard retreat with an in ground pool, covered patio, and a charming open hearth brick oven perfect for outdoor cooking and gatherings. Mature trees and green vines along the fencing add shade and serenity. One of the home's standout features is a private bedroom and full bathroom located on its own separate wing which can be closed off from the main living area and is connected by a breezeway already framed for doors. Whether you're looking for multi-generational living, a private guest suite, home office, studio, or the opportunity to generate rental income, this space offers endless possibilities while maintaining privacy from the rest of the home. Additional highlights include a custom-designed fireplace, separate living and family rooms, and close proximity to Sipherd Elementary and public transportation. This is a home that blends practicality, character, and versatilityready for modern living with room for every lifestyle. Home is aggressively priced to move quickly, so don't wait!
