Constructed in 1958, this two-story Raised Ranch style home offers a semi-rural sustainable lifestyle in the coveted community of Mt. Helix Calavo Gardens. Typical to the Ranch style, exterior building materials include a mix of horizontal board siding, board and batten siding, and stucco siding – all recently painted – with composition shingle roofing, boxed eaves and aluminum gutters, and a mix of multi-lite wood sash windows and replacement aluminum and vinyl slider units. The home’s footprint is U-shaped with a central entry courtyard, a two-car garage at the north side of the courtyard and the generously sized master bedroom to the south of the courtyard. The home is built into a sloping street with westerly and northerly views, and is configured in a manner characteristic of Mt. Helix residential construction: the ground floor is built is into the slope with the second floor at street level. Historic-era stone walls, built in 1958 with the home, bound the north and south lot line. The home additionally features a rare, flat, backyard space, with a saltwater swimming pool, perfect for entertaining, recreation, and gardening. Sustainable property features include passive rainwater harvesting systems with 3,500 gallons of water storage onsite, active greywater systems including a washing machine system watering the north lot line plantings and a master bathroom plumbed for additional greywater use, as well as a leased solar system with a guaranteed $260 per month bill through 2035.
