Located in Mission Trails, this custom 3-bedroom, 2-bath home combines a spacious lot, thoughtful upgrades, and an unusually capable home energy system. The interior feels bright and open, with large rear-facing windows bringing natural light into the main living spaces. The kitchen offers Corian counters, oak cabinetry, a gas cooktop, subway tile backsplash, and built-in trash and recycling storage. The primary suite includes an updated bath with a generous walk-in shower, while the secondary bath has also been refreshed. One of the home’s biggest highlights is the solar and battery setup. The system includes 21 Mitsubishi solar panels, Enphase microinverters, approximately 20 kWh of battery storage, and an Enphase meter collar that allows the home to disconnect from the grid and operate on stored power at any time (including during outages). The Enphase app provides energy monitoring, usage tracking, and system controls from your phone. A newer 200-amp electrical panel and 50-amp garage subpanel also provide added capacity for EV charging and other equipment. The oversized backyard leaves room for entertaining, gardening, or a future pool, and the property also offers RV parking, a storage shed, outdoor barbecue gas connection, central vacuum, and a treehouse play structure. It’s a hard-to-find combination of space, established neighborhood, and upgraded energy infrastructure in one of Merced’s most desirable areas.
