Description

It’s always about the view and the new tile roof in June 2025 plus the Tesla whole-house solar system comprising 26 roof panels harnessing 8.45-kilowatt capacity of energy. This incredible benefit includes two Power Walls and a wall-mounted charging station supporting most brands of electric vehicles. The solar system reduces house energy costs to $27 a month and zero for your electric car. When the grid goes down the system instantly kicks in with energy for several days of all household demands. This stunning waterfront home in Willowbend, bordering community greenbelt with views to Oscar Scherer State Park, is a luxurious Lee Wetherington-built Monterey II residence designed to the highest standards, offering spectacular views and seamless indoor-outdoor living. On one of the community’s desirable lots, it features unobstructed views of a wide lake and the natural beauty of the park, creating an extraordinary backdrop for an exceptional lifestyle. The idyllic setting includes a sparkling pool refinished with new Pebble Tech in 2024 with seating all around. Summer kitchen has sink and stainless 30-inch gas grill and two additional burners. Quartz counters with bar entertaining area.
