Super sweet cottage nestled between tall, mature redwoods. It offers two spacious bedrooms, beautifully stained hardwood floors throughout, and one bathroom. Recently updated kitchen and bath, new roof put on in 2018, and dual pane windows throughout. Set among the redwoods, the home is special, and the backyard is reminiscent of a Tahoe cabin surrounded by lush greenery, more mature trees and room to grow. The space is amazing, and it's a gardeners dream. Don't miss the bonus structure just waiting for your vision to bring it to life, possibly an office space, a guest house or an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). It brings lots of possibilities, to whatever you dream or desire!!! A quick twenty minute drive to the Orinda Bart Station or easy access to Interstate 80 or Highway 24, the location offers commuter conveniences. Ample hiking trails nearby throughout the East Bay Regional Park or try your luck at fishing at nearby San Pablo Dam Reservoir. Open House 7/20 & 7/21 2-4:30 pm!!
