A BIT OF PARADISE IN NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY. Feel the stress of life fade away as you travel down the lane, lined with mature hardwoods, to this private retreat, just minutes from downtown Hillsboro. Nestled in a multi-acre pocket of cleared land, this 3 BR, 2 1/2 BA home offers limitless opportunities for living, for gardening and for outdoor fun- a great game of badminton or croquet can be played in the level fenced backyard. Energy efficiency abounds in the home, with new windows installed throughout in 2025, heating and cooling provided by a geo-thermal system, electrically fired, with electric bills never exceeding $150. Additionally, the crawlspace is sealed and monitored by a thermostatic controlled dehumidifier. The interior of the home has just been painted and updated with handsome quartz counters in the kitchen and bathrooms., new LVP flooring throughout the main level, and new carpet on the second floor. Add the installation of a new roof in 2025 and you find a lovely well-maintained, tastefully appointed home, ready for a new owner.
