Property Description
What’s Love got to do with it? Everything...from the pink lilies aka "Naked Ladies" curbside, sprinkled purple irises, succulents inviting prosperity, she’s blue w/a touch of lavender blending into the sky, a red manzanita tree anchoring the earth & a red/violet pop greets you at the front door – she says come in and see how I shine. She’s so much more than you would ever expect…peeking in the front window golden hard wood floors, bright and generous living room and formal dining room with recessed ceilings. From the kitchen window views of the hills, the back yard expansive and magical. Custom designed containers with raised vegetable bed, Lime, Lemon, Fuji Apple, Mulberry, Apricot, Weeping Mulberry, Fuyu Persimmon trees & Passion fruit vines climb her fence, an orchard of delicious delights…heaven sent and love inspired…a gardener’s making, a gardener, a wife loved by her Country Joe…The main level one step in features: refinished hardwood floors, a generous light-filled living room w/ fireplace, and a formal dining room. The eat-in kitchen tastefully updated with quartz countertops, freshly painted cabinetry, new stainless-steel appliances, and beautiful views of the hills. Just off the kitchen, a bright sunroom offers flexible space for a home office, den, or third bedroom. Two bedrooms and an updated bathroom complete the upper level. Downstairs remodeled & permitted ADU provides an ideal space for extended family, guests, or rental income. The space features a modern kitchen with white quartz countertops and newer cabinetry, LVP flooring, a welcoming living room with a gas fireplace/stove, and a bright bedroom overlooking the garden. A frosty glass door opens to a private sitting area, creating a peaceful retreat of its own. Thoughtfully maintained and extensively updated, the home also includes copper plumbing, updated electrical service with a 200-amp panel, completed foundation and seismic upgrades, a sewer lateral in compliance, hard-wired smoke & fire alarms, an enclosed laundry room off the carport, and off-street parking for two to three vehicles. This is more than a house and ADU. It is a home-a place where gardens flourish, generations & friends gather and memories are made. Now it is time for her next chapter...
