About This Home
As of November 2024Sleek mid-century lines meet one-level living! This home’s bright, open floor plan and stunning original wood beam ceilings were what captured the owners' hearts when they bought it in 2008 for their growing family. Large living and dining room windows frame glimpses of the San Francisco skyline, while the private deck is perfect for soaking up the sun with a good book. Cozy evenings are spent gathered around the fireplace. With an en-suite primary bedroom and three additional bedrooms, there's room for everyone. A bright family room just off the kitchen offers an ideal space for gatherings. The large corner lot is a blank canvas for your vision—whether it’s for outdoor play, gardening, or entertaining. Just steps from Motorcycle Hill via a private cul-de-sac, you'll have daily access to peaceful trails and sweeping bay views. Additional features include a detached two-car garage, zoning for Madera Elementary (buyer to verify with WCCUSD), and mere minutes to Del Norte BART.
