Here's a rare Hillside opportunity: a home of
the original owners who built it themselves with love and care
28 years ago. Their same care shows in the maintenance of the
home.
Their most recent project, just completed, is a
state-of-the-art Advantex septic system, the finest made. For
double protection the original drain field has been left in
place to recover in future years. All that remains is the final
landscaping, which can be your choice. You have plenty of land
to work with: almost two acres, 72,000 square feet of gently
rolling terrain buffered from neighbors but within easy access
of Hillside Drive and Rabbit Creek Rd.
There's 2152 sq.ft. of living area, more footage
than one normally is able to find on acreage for under $250,000
in today's market. The main living area is upstairs, with three
bedrooms and two baths. The lower level includes a second
kitchen and family room, plus another bath: the entire layout
suggests convenient ground floor living, perhaps for an elderly
relative, teens, or a long-term guest or nanny.
Another recent updating project is the kitchen
remodel. Completely modern as you can see from the photos below,
there are maple cabinets, Corion countertops and a new gas range
and microwave.
There appear to be no subdivision covenants for
South Hills, which means that under the existing R6 zoning you
may be able to keep horses. It is a buyer's responsibility to
make this determination for a certainty.
Finally, imagine your leisure time on the large
deck off the dining and kitchen area.
With older carpets, the price reflects that
condition of the home and invites adding the cost of recarpeting
to the price if you would like to finance new carpets into the
purchase.
Oh, one pleasant minor benefit: the property
taxes for this year are about half what they would normally be
because the owners have received their senior citizen exemption.
This forgives almost $2000, meaning that if you close and
prorate the tax bill for the rest of the year, your property
taxes will be about $1000 less for this year.
