1268 La Mirada Drive

This turn-key Salinas home has been remodeled throughout, and it shows, from the updated kitchen and bathrooms to the wooden flooring that runs through the house. At 1,574 square feet, it also comes with a rare bonus: a 676-square-foot converted garage that works as a spacious family room or, if you'd rather, a full two-car garage. The choice is yours. The upgrades here are real, and the expensive ones are already done and paid for: 34 owned solar panels, a 50-year roof, double-pane windows, updated electrical, and central AC, so the big-ticket costs are behind you. Other updates include a remodeled kitchen with a breakfast bar and an indoor BBQ grill, fireplace, and plantation shutters. Out back, a private jacuzzi sits behind 7.5-foot privacy fencing, with two storage sheds and a covered patio structure. Set on a 7,000-square-foot lot with a beautifully landscaped front yard, this is a home where the work is already done: modern updates, low energy costs, and flexible space. With this much already done, homes like this don't come along often. Entire house is 100% electrical. PGE true up bill is approximately $300-$1200 annually.
