About this home
***1.17 ACRES WITH VIEWS*** Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the foothills of Mt Helix, 1133 Emerald Heights Rd offers sweeping northern views of the valley, mountains and city lights, with a true country feel just minutes from everything. This single-story 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has 2,283 sq ft of living space, hardwood floors, and a two-sided fireplace warming both the living room and the family room. The open kitchen and great room flow together for everyday living, and the oversized primary suite gives you room to spread out. Outside, a brick entry leads to garden paths, private garden spaces and an entertainer's deck with a built-in BBQ center, all on 1.17 acres. A 2-car attached garage plus 6 open spaces means room for RVs, boats and toys. Energy upgrades since the last sale: a Tesla battery and additional Tesla solar panels, on a leased system for the buyer to assume. No HOA.
