The brief

The reason to consider it.

Lovely corner lot villa in the exclusive gated community of Almond Grove with pool and lagoon / ocean views. This property consists of three bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the main level, as well as a large living room / dining area and kitchen with a center island. All opening onto the pool deck with a large BBQ and beautiful views.

On the lower level, there are two bedrooms, both accessed from the outside, which allows for short or long-term rentals. One of these lower-level bedrooms is large enough to be converted into a one-bedroom apartment (a kitchenette would need to be installed).

The house has off-street parking for two vehicles and a standby generator for the entire property. A large cistern allows for weeks of water should city water be off for any reason. The annual land lease payment is $1,110.56 ($92.55 per month) and there is a home owner’s fee of $500, which covers association costs for 24-hour security, road maintenance, garbage removal, a full-time gardener, and street lighting.

The house was constructed in 1989 and re-done in 2005 with new electrical, plumbing, windows, and doors. In May 2021, the swimming pool was resurfaced, and some painting and maintenance were completed. In October 2023, the house was painted, kitchen cabinets were sanded and stained, and other improvements were made.
