About This Home

As of July 2020

If you care about quality you will adore this beautifully updated Craftsman with an open floor plan and landscaped yard with an organic garden, mature cherry plum tree, 2 young blueberry bushes, young apple tree, young mandarin tree, many organic wild strawberries, upgraded sprinkler system, a trellis for added privacy and motion sensor lighting. The garage crawl space has been leveled with water barrier, and there is an additional bonus room which could be a 4th bedroom or office, which is ideal for working from home. Shelving and motion sensor lighting have been installed in the crawl space. The kitchen and baths have been recently updated, and a newer energy-efficient washer/dryer stay with the house. The home is ideal for entertaining throughout the year, and the backyard is so peaceful and serene it is easy to forget you are in the city. Close to shops, restaurants, public transportation and just a 5 minute drive to the Redwoods.
