About This Property
Rare combination in Waterford: 3-CAR GARAGE + PRIVATE HEATED POOL + FULLY PAID-OFF 16 kW SOLAR SYSTEM + MOVE-IN-READY CONDITION. This well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features soaring ceilings, a formal dining room, private screened heated pool, and spacious 3-car garage. Major updates are already done: roof (2019), Trane HVAC (2022), water heater (2016), 40 fully paid-off solar panels / 16 kW system (2023), waterproof LVP flooring (2025), pool pump (2025), renewed sprinkler system (2025), resurfaced pool and screen enclosure (2017), and PVC plumbing throughout. The fully owned solar system helps keep electric bills exceptionally low. Based on actual utility history, savings have been about $300+/ month, with excess production generating energy credits that can offset future electricity use. The 3-car garage also makes this an excellent setup for EV owners. No solar lease or loan to assume. The kitchen features quality wood cabinetry. Other features include a self-cleaning pool system, central vacuum, smart thermostat, app-controlled irrigation, fingerprint entry, bamboo flooring in the primary suite and one guest bedroom, new privacy landscaping, and all appliances included. Waterford offers tennis, community pool, fitness center, clubhouse, new pickleball courts, and optional golf memberships in a 27-hole championship golf community. Community fees are $186/month, paid annually. Rentals of 3 months or longer are permitted. Minutes to Venice Beach and historic Downtown Venice.
