Beneath all the pine trees of this Spring Oaks property there’s a redwood-sided garage big enough for a RV, or so says the listing. Although the single-story 1955 home has been updated a few times, most of the remodeling appears to be a decade — or two — old. Still, the $790,000 metal-roofed home comes with nearly a half-acre of land, a pool, some patios, plus that extra-large, multi-purpose car barn. The street-facing window on the narrow front porch belongs to the combo living and dining area, which is off the entry hall: This window in the original front dining area has a southern exposure in a room anchored by a half-wall of mirrors: The home’s back wall has floor-to-ceiling windows framing the yard and its amenities. A family room off the open kitchen centers on that view: There’s a small breakfast nook and den off the kitchen: The den’s wall of French doors leads to a patio enclosed by a curving brick wall: The den also has a bar, a fireplace, and a passageway to the back yard: The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. Here’s the master bedroom: Tiles in the master bathroom carbon-date the home’s mid-century origins: The listing counts 2,493 sq. ft. in the home; the garage measures 40 ft. by 24 ft.: There’s a pool table: And a table by the pool: Make that a really big pool: The yard also has a few patios and wooden decks: The Spring Valley property appears similar in scale, elevation, and style to other homes on its street, which is located in between Wirt and Bingle south of Westview. 8320 Merlin Dr. [HAR] … Read More
