JJ Pearce houses were built almost 20 years after those in the adjoining subdivisions; they are bigger, on bigger lots, with most having some high ceilings, larger living spaces, and unique underground electrical service. Houses are being razed and replaced by mini mansions in the premier Reservation neighborhood adjoining to the south. In JJ Pearce, you are still buying a house, 1321 backing to JJ Pearce High senior parking lot, resulting in unobstructed views & prevailing southern breezes. Neighboring the high school is a pleasure, with the sounds of the band, baseball, and tennis balls being slammed, with happy kids and happy crowds. 1321, with its unique entry atrium, places the primary suite and living spaces on one side, with the other 2 beds and bath spaces on the other side. The library is the original dining room; the dining room, with its 10’ ceiling, it’s wet bar with a premium ice maker, is the great room. Both spaces can revert to original uses with no modifications. A hallway pocket door can close off the 2-bedroom side. 1321 is not a flip focused on cosmetics and profit, like most higher-priced older houses in the area; its owner, with 40 years of home-building and remodeling experience, has updated it over the past 7 years. Every space updated, all systems updated or replaced. All windows, flooring, doors, showers and tubs, plumbing fixtures, counters, cabinet drawers and doors, and appliances were replaced, all HVAC replaced 2026. Cedar fencing wraps the perimeter, providing a gracious courtyard in the front and a16’ rolling rear gate. In the backyard, thick travertine covers the swimming pool and spa deck. The pool was re-plastered, retiled, all its equipment and gas line were replaced in 2026. A redwood-built pergola and covered rear porch feature updated wiring and fixtures. Unlike most houses in the area, the entire property is professionally landscaped. If you’re looking for something different than all white and all grey, come take a look.
