About This Home

As of December 2022

Beautiful new look with our new price!!!! Must see again! Spread your roots inside and out. The large, nearly-level lot offers a view of the Bay and feels like your own nature area. Surrounded by such a large yard, the house gets tons of light and gives you ample space to thrive. With a formal entry and a grand living room, generous spaces begin to unfurl. The first bedroom, right near the front door, makes an excellent office to seed new ideas. Two more bountiful bedrooms are sown with copious closets. Extra spaces include a sunroom and a fun bunk room with its own private entrance. Gracious hallways and a dedicated utility room keep your branches uncrowded. The lot has ADU potential, urban garden, room for play structures and more.
