About this home

Really, actually, nearly unbelievable views. In 1961 this home was thoughtfully built with a mind on the vistas this property provides allowing you to see the extraordinary expanse of the Bay Area. Embracing clean lines and sleek aesthetic, nestled in a cul-de-sac, you are at once a part of and above everything. Large and bright spaces that lend to quiet contemplation or raucous entertaining; this home is sure to inspire. The upstairs bathroom was remodeled with modern fixtures and dual sinks in anticipation of its upcoming new ownership. The kitchen was updated and walls opened in 2008. Access the covered back porch to the inviting outdoor dining area before climbing to the view landings for enjoyment of glorious sunsets. Interior entry from the attached 2-car garage and lots of closets allow for the ease and grace of modern living. Don't miss this one of a kind home.
