Turtle Rock Townhouse Magnet
5031 Paseo Segovia $834,300
The Sunday open house traffic was brisk over the holiday weekend as this Turtle Rock single family home opened its doors and a steady stream of visitors trooped through. Just up the hill from Campus Drive off of Turtle Rock Drive, the home is vacant and back on the market.
The home was listed in September, taken off the market with an October offer, and returned to the market in December.
Significant Numbers: Built in 1973, the home is 2028 sq. ft., on a 3,744 sq. ft. lot. The $/sq. ft. is $379. HOA dues are $150. There is no Mello Roos tax and this is a standard sale. This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, two level contemporary home has been remodeled throughout, but bathrooms appear to be original.
CloseUp: Situated across from the greenbelt, on a secluded street, a spacious courtyard leads into a large living room with shutters, gleaming wood laminate floors, and sliding glass doors and windows overlooking greenery. There is an enclosed patio and a small backyard.
The overall impression is light, bright and ready for a new imprint. It’s easy to picture this home operating as a comfortable entertainment/family base. It could be a fresh canvas for the right buyer, an appealing property in a prime spot in Turtle Rock.
The fireplace in the living room has a custom wood mantel and there is another stacked stone fireplace in the family room. Throughout the home there are vaulted and scraped ceilings, custom paint, custom baseboards, and crown moldings.
The kitchen has been remodeled with custom tile countertops and backsplash, upgraded appliances and a garden/bay window.
There is a main floor bedroom and the second floor has three good sized bedrooms with two baths.
The home also has a newer tile roof and copper plumbing.
