Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1969, the property is functional but significantly dated. The kitchen features older white appliances, laminate counters, and a fluorescent light ceiling, while the bathrooms show finishes that appear over 20 years old. The listing description explicitly identifies the home as a 'canvas' for renovation, suggesting that while livable, it requires comprehensive cosmetic updates and likely system evaluations due to its 55-year age.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 13068, living area = 1714.
The property offers rare, uninterrupted views of the Carquinez Strait and bridge from the kitchen, primary suite, and family room, providing a permanent value-add that cannot be replicated.
Situated on nearly a third of an acre, the lot features a generous view deck and rare accommodations for RV parking, offering significant outdoor versatility.
Marketed as a 'canvas' ready for its next chapter, the 1969 home likely requires a significant additional investment to update finishes and systems to modern standards.
The tri-level floor plan involves multiple sets of stairs to navigate between living zones, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking long-term accessibility or open-concept single-level living.
Some things can be renovated. Some things cannot. The Carquinez Strait doesn't move. From this Southampton Hills home, the water views stretch uninterrupted from Martinez to the Carquinez Bridge - visible from the kitchen, the main level deck, the primary suite, and the lower level family room. It is here every morning, in every season, unchanging and extraordinary.134 Ardmore Way is a thoughtfully designed trilevel home offering four bedrooms, three baths, and 1,714 square feet of living space that puts the view at the center of daily life. The main level flows naturally from the living and dining areas to a generous view deck - the kind of outdoor space where your morning coffee becomes a ritual and your evenings feel like a reward. Upstairs, the primary suite is framed by two walls of windows looking straight out to the water and the golden hills of Contra Costa beyond. Downstairs, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the family room, with sliding glass doors that open directly to the view and make the line between inside and outside feel pleasantly optional. This home is ready for its next chapter - a canvas with exceptional bones and a layout that lives beautifully, waiting for the vision you bring to it. Some addresses are defined by their finishes. This one is defined by something far more permanent. Nearly a third of an acre lot with room for RV parking. Two-car garage. Southampton Swim Club membership included - community pool and clubhouse. Fireworks from Benicia's 1st Street Pier are visible right from your backyard. Historic Old Town, the waterfront, beloved local restaurants, and easy highway access are minutes away.
