About This Home

As of July 2020

Amenities abound for this one story three bedroom and two bathroom rancher situated on .47 acres. A family oasis displays all the hallmarks of a vacation resort, including a sparkling, solar-heated swimming pool, spa, and quick and easy access to hiking trails, Larkey Park and the Lindsay Wildlife Experience.. Rustic steps lift you from the spacious patio to an eagle's nest, where, beneath the pines, repose awaits with views of abundant, adjacent open space. Mornings greet you with sunrises over Mt. Diablo viewed from your living room. There is ample room for gardening a few paces from the master suite patio. This 1,615 square foot home features a large living room and brick fireplace. An updated kitchen with granite counter tops and tile flooring opens to the newly carpeted family room. The home has a formal dining room and air conditioning, a two car garage with plentiful storage shelving and laundry area. There is quick access to commute options, shopping at Palos Verde Ctr.
