Lovingly maintained, this single-story College Area beauty will delight you from the moment you enter the adorable front porch. Natural light streams through, accompanied by a bright skylight, new recessed lighting throughout, and floor-to-ceiling wrap-around picture windows that offer seamless views of the lush green backyard. The updated kitchen is perfectly appointed with everything you need, including a walk-in pantry, abundant storage, high-end countertops, stainless steel appliances, a cozy coffee bar, counter bar seating, and a dining nook. It opens gracefully to both the dining room and the expansive family room with custom built-ins, making it ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. Direct access to the patio from both the dining room and family room creates an effortless indoor-outdoor flow perfect for entertaining, gardening, or tinkering in the detached garage workshop. The interior is filled with charm, featuring custom built-ins, a beautiful fireplace, and flexible living spaces. Among the four large bedrooms and an updated family bath, there is a dedicated office space completed by its own convenient half bath. The massive primary suite located on the east wing offers a luxurious retreat with space for a sitting area, dual vanity, large walk-in shower, deep bubble bath tub, massive walk-in closet, and private doors to your own patio, where you can unwind to the soothing sounds of a custom cascading waterfall. Situated on nearly a 1/3-acre lot, the grounds feature all-new lush landscaping, fresh sod, fencing, garden beds, and an efficient drip irrigation system. Out back, you'll find a Tuff Shed alongside a fully insulated second garage/workshopideal as a gym, home office, workshop, 3-car garage setup, or potential ADU/in-law suite. There is still plenty of room on this generous lot to add a pool if desired. This home truly has it all and so close to schools, Roseburg Square, the Virginia Corridor and Modesto Junior College.

College Area, located between Downtown Modesto and the Dry Creek greenbelt, is a residential and academic Modesto neighborhood with tree-lined streets and mid-century ranch homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Modesto Junior College East Campus along College Avenue, where classrooms, athletic facilities, and steady foot traffic set the daily rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward postwar bungalows and ranches with broad lawns and mature shade trees. A coffee-and-concert night at Preservation Coffee & Tea and a show at the State Theatre often bookend the week. For open-air time, the Virginia Corridor Trail and nearby parks frame a walk-and-bike routine.
