Set on the side of a quiet cul-de-sac in Rincon Estates, this home is where the upgrades do the talking. Step onto new luxury vinyl plank flooring that runs through the entire downstairs. The kitchen was remodeled six years ago with furniture-grade cherry cabinetry, a center island, new appliances, and a breakfast nook, all opening to a rear family room with a wood-burning fireplace. Comfort here is dialed in: a whole-house forced-air system pairs with four additional mini-splits for room-by-room temperature control, and owned solar nearly eliminates the power bill. Upgraded windows throughout, blinds downstairs, plantation shutters upstairs, and powered, remotely operated blinds on the vaulted living room's upper windows finish every room. Add upgraded baseboards, crown molding, and recessed LED lighting, plus two heated bidets in the primary and main bath. Outside, the fenced backyard offers a covered patio, deck, and landscaping on a 6,655 sq ft lot, along with a producing home orchard: grapefruit, mandarin tangerine, lemon, and two varieties of table grapes. A rare combination of major systems already done and everyday livability.
