First impressions are everything and this cozy Martinez home makes a great one! Nestled in the Mountain View area, approx. 1 mile from vibrant downtown with trendy eateries, coffee shops and lively community events. Savor gorgeous sunsets on the front porch or while entertaining on the tiered rear patio adorned by twinkling bistro lights. The charm doesn't stop there! Wooden floors extend throughout the open living room/kitchen concept with central cooking island and plenty of natural light. French doors lead to the front bedroom, which can be used as work/study or cozy living room. "But wait! There's more!" Did we mention all the parking/storage available on this point lot? Semi-private gravel side lot enough for parking boat, vehicles & toys, as well as driveway and 2nd side-yard shaded parking.
