About This Home

As of September 2021

At first glance, this home appears to be modest & unassuming. Once inside, you will be pleasantly surprised at the amount of living space this home affords. First, you’ll step through a private gate into the charming courtyard with a lovely assortment of ferns, grasses, & flowers and the relaxing sound of a trickling fountain. This just might be the perfect place for you to enjoy your morning coffee or relax at the end of the day. This home sits back off the street, adding privacy with room for 2 coastal redwood trees & a thriving rosemary hedge. Inside, you will see a split floor plan that has 2 bedrooms & a smaller master suite on one side. On the other side, you'll find a small office & a very large master retreat with an open beam vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet, dual sink vanity, step-in shower, jetted tub, 2 separate water closets, & a large linen cabinet. You'll enjoy the view through the 3 large sliders where you can step out & enjoy the pool or sit under the majestic Raywood Ash. There is a generous kitchen with stainless steel Jenn-Air appliances, pull-out shelving, & a reverse osmosis water filter. From the kitchen sink, you will love the view of the courtyard where you can watch the hummingbirds enjoying the fragrant Pink Jasmine & Gardenia. You can enjoy eating at the sit-up bar or in the dining room. The family room with its cozy wood-burning stove & wood box you fill from the outside, is the perfect place to curl up with a book or watch your favorite shows. Lots of built-in cabinetry will store your games & blankets; a built-in bookshelf to hold all your favorite reading material and family photos. It even has a wet bar. A large flex room looks out into the backyard and holds many possibilities. It could be used for homeschooling, a workout room, a craft room, or a formal living room. Throughout this home, you'll enjoy the nostalgia of classic tile bathrooms & hardwood floors. If you love to entertain you need to see the amazing backyard! Here you will find a massive cedar pergola with ceiling fans, plenty of room for an outdoor kitchen, & a swimming pool that's large enough to play volleyball. The irrigated raised garden beds are the perfect place to grow your own vegetables & flowers. In the spring you will enjoy pink, white, & orange dogwood trees. In the cooler months, everyone will enjoy sitting around the outdoor wood-burning fireplace & roasting marshmallows. So, invite your family & friends! This is a home where memories are made!
