Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although built in 1963, the property has undergone a comprehensive high-end renovation within the last 5 years. It features a modern chef's kitchen with quartz counters and induction stove, designer bathrooms with subway tile and edgeless glass, new hardwood floors, and professional landscaping. The condition is mint and move-in ready.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 12000, living area = 1571.
The home features a high-end, bespoke renovation with real hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, and Quartz surfaces, offering a move-in-ready luxury experience comparable to a designer showroom.
Situated on a rare, perfectly level 1/3-acre lot, the property boasts professional landscaping, multiple patios, and a pergola, providing exceptional outdoor living and entertaining space.
At 1,571 square feet, the interior living space is relatively compact for the price point, which may be a constraint for larger families or those requiring a home office.
Despite the extensive cosmetic and surface-level updates, the 1963 construction year suggests that some underlying structural or utility systems may be nearing the end of their typical lifespan.
It is rare to find a property that is situated on as quiet & scenic of a street, with views of the surrounding hillsides, on a sprawling nearly 1/3 of an acre perfectly level lot, with an interior so pristine & bespoke that Restoration Hardware might stop by to take notes. This single level spectacular find is a gem, to say the least. Beautiful landscaping greets you at the curb: lush lawn, mature redwood trees, curated greenery and an elegant mailbox. Step inside & the warm, real hardwood floors assure you that quality awaits. The kitchen is a cook's dream: with custom cabinetry, Quartz slab counters, stainless appliances including an induction stove, large sink overlooking the front yard. Separate coffee station/buffet/serving station area provides additional cabinet/countertop space, and a charming built-in breakfast nook ensures that your morning coffee session feels cozy + scenic, with views of the hummingbirds & quails in the front yard. Meander to the spacious family room and you'll be delighted by the details here: wainscoting, three picture lights for your favorite paintings/portraits + a gas fireplace. The formal dining room is the one you've been waiting on to finally start hosting: a handsome chandelier & matching sconces flank the entry to the dining room, a picture window overlooks the backyard, plenty of space even for the largest of dining tables.

Primary bedroom is inviting & peaceful w/ ensuite bathroom, ceiling fan, sconces on either of the bed and a sliding door to the backyard. It's the details that make this home: custom window coverings/drapes throughout, stunning light fixtures in every room, a glowing interior paint color matches perfectly w/ the griege hardwood floors. The overall feeling is inviting, warm and welcoming. And for the garage aficionados....this one is a 10/10.
