From the Agent: "In the heart of View Heights sits this newly renovated property, minimal, soulful, and perfect as a first home. Thoughtfully updated from the inside out, it’s move-in ready with all-new systems and finishes. A built-in 5.1 surround sound system with an in-wall subwoofer elevates the experience, while brass fixtures, matte black hardware, and thoughtful wood details give the home its grounded, inviting tone. A finished 400-square-foot detached garage offers flexible space for a gym, studio, or home office and is EV-ready with a new door and Wi-Fi-enabled opener. Out back, the yard has been completely reimagined with a mature orange tree that produces sweet, delicious fruit, a vegetable garden, decomposed granite, fresh grass and gravel, and new drainage. A tranquil fountain and firepit lounge set the scene for evenings under the stars, with a perfect wall nearby for outdoor movie nights."
