About This Home

As of December 2023

HOME. This beautifully updated Hidden Valley single level rancher on a mostly flat, half acre lot is absolutely what will feel like Home. 4 months spent lovingly remodeling this home translate to a stunning, fresh abode! A Modern Dutch door greets you & leads into a marvelous mud room upon entry. Large white kitchen offers a complete pantry wall, Quartz slab counters, stainless appliances, an island w/ seating for 4 & wonderful view of the backyard. TWO spacious living areas provide ample room for entertaining this holiday season, w a 2 sided fireplace separating the two + large picture windows offering views of the landscape at every turn. Bathrooms have been luxuriously remodeled w new vanities, farmhouse shower tile, brushed gold fixtures/mirrors & custom glass shower doors. Warm, original (just refinished + restained) hardwood floors give this home a wonderful natural vibe & high end fixtures from Walnut Creek Lighting Co cast the ideal light upon each room. An antique wood burning stove in the family room is a showpiece on its' own. Front & back yards offer entire worlds to escape to & enjoy the outdoors: two lawn areas, a mature Mulberry tree, various fruit trees, wonderful pool & plenty of patio space. The general feel of the home is calm, welcoming & joyful. Must See!
