About This Home

As of August 2025

This light filled four bedroom, two bath home offers comfortable living nestled on a generous 1/3-acre corner lot. Delight in the vaulted beam ceilings, the generous window layout throughout the home and a fireplace with gas insert that instantly provides warmth when fall turns to winter. Whether you enjoy hosting a gathering or seek a tranquil retreat near the San Francisco Bay area, this home provides all the versatility, options and comfort you desire. Imagine stepping onto an expansive deck that overlooks a lush verdant garden, meandering pathways, grass lawns, fruit trees, seasonal veggie gardens, and a solar heated pool. The home is a perfect spot for entertaining or simply enjoying peaceful moments outdoors. Olive, fig, walnut, cork and two majestic poplar trees add to your daily feel-good moments. 278 Laurel can't be replicated but it could be yours. On the northside of the property in a private spot is a hot tub, ready for an end of day (or beginning) soak. Not to be overlooked, the property also boasts a freestanding two-car garage and additional driveway parking, providing ample space for vehicles, storage and toys!
