3 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ 41150528 MLS
Virtually level-in, this spacious 1960s-era 3-bedroom, 2-bath home emanates Mid-Century Modern style even before you step inside. Recessed lighting and gorgeous random-plank hardwood floors guide you through the large, light-filled living room, past a stately brick fireplace, and into the dining room, where sliding glass doors open onto a private patio retreat complete with an outdoor wood-fired grill. The generous kitchen connects with the dining room for an easy entertaining flow, and features a breakfast bar, quartz countertops, and abundant storage. Black-clad Marvin windows set off the warm wood details throughout the home and help keep the temperature comfortable year-round. Down the hall, you'll find three well-sized bedrooms, including a primary suite with en-suite bath and a cedar-lined walk-in closet, a separate laundry room, and a hall bath with dual sinks and a few preserved 1960s details. Out front, an impressive drought-tolerant garden designed and installed by Farallon Gardens five years ago has been meticulously maintained ever since and will stop you in your tracks. The care and love poured into this home are evident at every turn. To top it off, the location can't be beat: just under half a mile to Del Norte BART, a short stint farther to Los Moles Beer Garden, and close to the Canyon Trails tennis courts and the Skyline National Trail in Wildcat Canyon. Restaurants, transit, and outdoor adventure, all in equal measure.
