The home includes gated RV parking with convenient alley access, a premium and hard-to-find feature in this neighborhood that adds significant functional value.
Built in 1977 and held by the original family, the home likely requires cosmetic updates and modernizations to meet the aesthetic expectations of today's buyers.
At approximately 6,098 square feet, the lot may feel somewhat constrained for those seeking expansive yard space given the home's larger 2,328 square foot footprint.
870 W J is one of those homes that just feels special the second you pull up. Maybe it's the fact that it was custom built by the family in 1977 and has never been on the market before, or maybe it's the peaceful setting, water views, and incredible backyard that make you instantly exhale a little. Either way, this home has a really good feeling to it. The location is such a dream for everyday life. You're right around the corner from 9th Street Beach and Alvarez Playground, and close enough for easy walks to Mary Farmar Elementary and Benicia High School. Morning walks, beach sunsets, kids biking to school, grabbing coffee downtown... it's all right there. Upstairs has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a bright kitchen, dining space, and a living room that opens out to the most beautiful deck. And that deck wow. It feels calm, private, and almost transportive, like you've stepped into a little hidden garden retreat with water views peeking through the trees. The landscaping has been lovingly built over the years with mature greenery, butterfly and bee pollinator plants, winding garden spaces, and so many little things to discover. Downstairs adds a whole extra layer of flexibility with two more bedrooms, a bathroom, tons of living space, and its own separate entrance. Perfect for older kids wanting their own hangout space, extended family, guests, hobbies, or maybe even rental potential. There's also gated R/V parking with easy alley access, which is hard to find in this area. This home has been deeply loved for a long time, and you can feel that everywhere you walk! Don't miss out on seeing this one-of-a-kind property.
