Discover the magic of Mt. Helix as you travel through the winding hills, evocative of the Santa Barbara foothills, to find this truly delightful property. First time on the market since 1966, this home is on a sprawling fully fenced .94-acre. Built with quality craftsmanship in 1936 by Abbott & Huston, the 2,023 sq ft. home offers 3 bedrooms each w/walk-in closets, 2 remodeled baths & sizable finished basement that includes a separate entrance, fenced yard & full bath which could be used as Rental, in-law suite, hobby, playroom, perhaps a theater? The possibilities are endless. The updated kitchen w/ skylight, solid wood cabinetry, island & recessed LED lighting flows into the great room w/vaulted ceilings, fireplace, & access to a covered patio & deck. The home's GAF Title 24 compliant roof, owned solar w/battery backup, water heater & an upgraded electrical panel are all new. Additional improvements include: sewer lines, carpet, Luxury Vinyl Plank & refinished original oak hardwood. The property's award-worthy landscape creates a peaceful & private paradise & there is plenty of room to grow your own produce. Numerous varieties of trees are loved by both nesting hawks & flocks of wild parrots. This is truly one of the most prime locations in East County. Additional features of the property include a tea house, custom potting area, 20x20 barn & 2-car garage w/a new insulated roll-up garage door. Zoned for animals, the property can also accommodate RVs, trailers & toys. Seller will consider concessions towards closing costs, buyer's-choice kitchen counters, or rate buydown.
