About This Home

As of April 2025

Welcome to 2686 Mendocino Dr, a charming one-story, ranch-style corner home in Pinole Valley. This 4-bed/2-bath home offers privacy, convenience, and vibrant outdoor living. The open-concept kitchen, with brand-new stainless steel appliances, flows into the family room and opens to a lush backyard garden. A paved patio and raised garden bed complement the terraced fruit trees—orange, tangerine, apple, lime, and plum—while a grape arbor, blackberry vine, and blueberry bushes add charm. Fragrant lavender, rosemary, and white sage create a peaceful retreat among cedar and Sweetgum trees, home to local birdlife. With a new HVAC system and air conditioning, this home offers year-round comfort. It's just minutes from the newly renovated Pinole Valley High School, a public pool, and the Bay Area Ridge Trail, with stunning views of the SF Bay and Pinole Valley Watershed. Located in a well-established community, this home provides a perfect blend of nature and accessibility. Commuters enjoy quick access to I-80, Hwy 4, and Alhambra Valley Road for a scenic drive to Martinez, Lafayette, and Orinda, plus bus lines just steps away. Blending comfort, natural beauty, and convenience, this move-in-ready home is a rare find! *Furnishings are computer-generated; buyer to verify accuracy/scale
