About This Home

As of August 2023

Benicia Beauty! This stunning 3/bedroom, 2/bath home has undergone a complete and impressive renovation, leaving no detail untouched. The updates are extensive, starting with a new foundation and HVAC system. Milgard V300 Trinsic Black/Black Vinyl Windows & Sliders not only add a touch of elegance but also contribute to energy efficiency. Inside, the home exudes modern elegance with Waterproof Luxury Vinyl flooring, Floor-to-ceiling tiled fireplace, custom solid wood interior doors, and full-light glass French doors in the front room. The kitchen is a chef's dream with LG Black Stainless Steel Appliances, solid wood cabinets with soft-close doors and drawers, quartz countertops with waterfall edges, and LED under-cabinet lighting. The pot filler adds a touch of convenience to the space. The garage is a car enthusiast's dream with a 3-car garage featuring a 4-post car lift. Additionally, there's RV/BOAT parking and a 240V EV charging station. Attention to detail extends to the landscaping as well. The property showcases pressure-treated landscape retaining walls and low-maintenance landscaping with an automated drip watering system, ensuring the exterior is just as beautiful and easy to maintain. Walking distance to First Street, Raggs Coffee, MIB Brewing and One House Bakery.
