Open House Review: 3 Recinto

Today I am reviewing a highly desirable single level home in Northwood’s Windstream Community.  Windstream is divided into three gated sections so it limits the amount of car traffic although pedestrian traffic is not limited between the sections. 3 Recinto is found in one of the small cul-de-sacs backing directly to the community pool. Although prices in the area have been on the rise, I was surprised that the home was asking $1,048,000, even though this pool property is in excellent, move-in condition. The only thing that has not been updates are the windows, which are original.   However, the home is now accepting back-up offers so I wonder what the purchase price is.

It feeds into Santiago Hills Elementary, Sierra Vista Middle School and Northwood High.

Asking Price: $1,048,000
Bedrooms:       3
Bathrooms:      2
Square Footage: 1,974
Lot Size:          5,150
$/Sq Ft:           $531
