Designed by Chester H. Treichel and built in 1939, this 2,801 square foot home on 1.21 acres has been lovingly maintained by the current owners since 1958! You'll love the storybook charm, big Mt Diablo views, private natural setting and access to some of the best schools in the state. The home features hardwood floors, gracious formal living and dining rooms and many original finishing touches. There are 3 bedrooms, 3 baths (the 4th bedroom, listed in the floor plan from the June, 1941 California House and Gardens Magazine as a maid's room will most likely be remodeled away to create a glorious new kitchen.) There is a family room/homework room off the bedroom wing and a large additional room downstairs which could be used as a teen bedroom, 2nd family room, home office or studio. The terraced downslope back yard leads to a pool and deck area and the loggia off the living room with french doors will give you that indoor outdoor living and entertaining space you've been looking for!
