4191 Hidden Valley Ln


This remodeled unit sits on a 13,000 Sq Ft corner lot. Street parking is limited as there is no curb or sidewalk to speak of in front of the home. The front walkway is flanked by lawn. To the right is an expansive area of lush freshly planted sod. Referring back to my notes for that day, I described it as being “so green that I had to bend over and touch it”. To the left is a small spotty patch of what I assume was the original lawn, why wouldn’t they just plant the remaining 10Sq Ft as well?

The front porch is finished in a glossy waterproof seal with a somewhat strange flake finish that allows for grip when wet. The interior has a number of great touches. All of the wall textures have been redone. There are sparkling new granite countertops in the kitchen and bathroom. There is also some excellent tile work done in the showers. Rather small footprint for the size of lot.

There is a small detached studio unit in the rear that is currently rented out. Apparently it was laundry day as the clotheslines were covered in tightie-whities. Yes, underwear.

Overall I think the home has been remodeled nicely but the size of the lot has not been utilized. Listed a $809,000 and on the market for 29 days…
