About this home
Set on approximately 1.55 acres among mature trees and the rolling hills of Muir Oaks, this four-bed, two-bath Martinez home offers room to spread out inside and out. Hillside views, expansive outdoor areas and a distinctly rural feel create a property with space to enjoy now and possibilities for the future. The generous living room features a peaked wood ceiling with exposed beams, large windows overlooking the surrounding greenery, laminate flooring and a gas-burning fireplace with an extensive brick surround. The recently updated eat-in kitchen offers rich wood cabinetry, stone countertops, a substantial center island with generous seating and space for a dining table. A separate prep area, built-in desk and large walk-in pantry provide additional workspace and storage, while a sliding glass door opens directly to the deck. The spacious primary suite features a large window and sliding glass door with direct patio access, plus an ensuite bathroom with a tiled vanity and shower. Three additional well-proportioned bedrooms share the hall bathroom. Outside, mature trees and established landscaping frame multiple areas for enjoying the hillside setting. A large deck provides space for dining and relaxing, complemented by patios, open areas, an expansive driveway and multiple storage sheds. Views across the neighboring hills add a wonderful sense of separation and breathing room. The greater Alhambra Valley area is known for its agricultural and equestrian roots, with vineyards, orchards, horse facilities and larger rural-residential properties throughout the surrounding hills. Nearby Nancy Boyd Park and Briones Regional Park offer opportunities for recreation, while the John Muir National Historic Site, Carquinez Strait shoreline and Downtown Martinez are also within easy reach. Convenient access to Highway 4 and I-680 connects this country-like setting with the greater East Bay.

Muir Oaks, located between Alhambra Avenue and Franklin Canyon Road, is a residential and hillside Martinez neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and oak-studded open space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Alhambra Avenue corridor near the Franklin Canyon Road junction, where a low-key strip of local storefronts and daily errands sets the pace. Community pillars include the Martinez Museum, the Contra Costa County Historical Society & History Center, and the Martinez Campbell Theater downtown. Streets climb gently toward wooded slopes, with pockets of larger lots and quiet cul-de-sacs. The setting feels tucked into the edge of the Alhambra Valley, with trail-oriented weekends and a short drive to the waterfront. Architecture leans practical and California-casual, with patios, carports, and mature trees shaping the streetscape.
