About this single-family home

A must see one-story dream home in a quiet neighborhood with easy walking access to parks, library, senior center, and teen center. In addition to ample street parking, a long sweeping driveway with separate space for RV parking delivers you to a landing with plenty of room for private parking flanked by beautiful mature trees. This 1959 home was completely remodeled in 2013 and features an open floor plan with hardwood floors, slow-close kitchen cabinets, a vaulted wood-beam ceiling in the family room, a wall length slider that opens to a private oasis in the backyard with an orange tree, and central heating & air conditioning. The dining room also opens through French door sliders to the huge fenced backyard with a built-in BBQ and refrigerator with bar seating, three seating areas including one with a terracotta wood firepit, an in-ground pool & spa with waterfalls, and a detached pool cabana. The current owner added shutters throughout this home, new sink faucets, replaced the pool pump and filter, permitted an electrical panel upgrade to 200 amps, and recently installed a new bay window in the living room, new water heater, and new wall mounted family room 65' TV which stays with the house. The kitchen features granite countertops with an eat-in counter, a garden window overlooking the backyard, a stainless steel refrigerator, a brand-new stainless steel gas stove, and connects to a laundry room with a front load side-by-side washer and gas dryer which remain with the home along with all the kitchen appliances. The master bedroom features an oversized closet with mirrored doors and an ensuite bathroom with a granite countertop and travertine walk-in shower. The master also has convenient access to the backyard spa through a brand new slider being installed prior to close of escrow. This lovely, private, ranch style home is truly a gem.
