High quality finishes, radiant floor heating, skylights, custom accordion windows that open to outside patios, 10-foot ceilings, luxury spa worthy bathrooms, and engineered wood floors. The list goes on and on. You are greeted by a pivot swinging front door at a level-in entryway. Further inside the home you quickly experience modern living on an exceptional level. The large chef’s kitchen seamlessly connects to the outdoors. An attractive staircase leads to the 2nd floor where there a three bedrooms in addition to a second family room and a covered patio – complemented by views of Oakland and SF. The en-suite bathroom off the primary has marble sinks, a big glass stall shower, freestanding tub and an impressive walk-in closet. Outside, the ADU is seamlessly incorporated into the site. Windows on three sides, spacious, with a full bath. The huge flat yard has it all. Grass to support endless games, and a garden plot that receives just the right amount of sun. Located in the uber charming Crocker Highlands neighborhood. Convenient proximity to Crocker Elementary.
