Tucked back from the street on a serene .57-acre lot surrounded by mature trees, vibrant plantings & beautifully tended garden, this single-story retreat offers rare privacy & a bright, welcoming interior. Skylights, exposed-beam ceilings & large windows fill the home with natural light. The open living & dining areas create an airy flow, with French doors extending the space to an expansive deck overlooking the greenery. The updated kitchen features white cabinetry, sleek counters, deep farmhouse-style sink, gas range & breakfast bar. The remodeled bathroom offers a double-sink vanity & modern finishes. Both bedrooms enjoy peaceful views of the surrounding greenery, while one offers direct access to the deck for an easy indoor–outdoor connection. Outdoors, garden paths wind through layered plantings, flowering beds & a whimsical yet practical greenhouse. The homeowners lovingly shaped every corner of the landscape, creating a space that feels both vibrant & peaceful. A storage shed & generous deck add comfort & function. The lot backs to a creek & wooded backdrop, enhancing the sense of seclusion. Minutes to parks, trails, local conveniences, major roadways & nearby BART connections. A rare haven for anyone who loves natural beauty, privacy & a thoughtfully nurtured landscape.
