About This Home

As of November 2020

Family loved home for many, many years, set for another young family to own. This very special home with an abundance of space and fine living functionality comes alive within each light-filled room. The flow of the spaces are ideal for work at home and for kids, guests or nanny/in-laws. Set on a lovely lot, the home has great sun exposure, lovely views of Mt. Diablo, grassy yards, a huge deck for entertaining, lush gardens, and exceptional allure for living both inside and outside. The neutral palette of colors, updated baths and incredible curb appeal make this property a must see. Walk to the very popular Dey Rey Elementary school and playfields so close by. This wonderful home offers an exceptional opportunity for any buyer.
