Property Description
Set on a rare and private 0.72-acre lot beneath mature trees, this extensively improved Ortega Forest property offers 3,146 SF, 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths in the main residence--plus an additional approximately 800 SF detached dwelling at the rear of the property offering exceptional future potential.
The additional detached structure provides a rare opportunity for a future guest house, private office, studio, workshop, fitness space, multi-generational living or other creative use. With updates, this additional space could become a significant asset and further expand the property's already exceptional flexibility.
This is more than a cosmetic renovation. Significant investment has been made to address many of the major infrastructure concerns associated with an established home.
