About this home

Magnificent deodar pines line the street approaching this mid-century. Professionally landscaped front yard with drought tolerate California native plants welcomes you to this single level home. The back yard is huge with a groomed lawn for quiet reflection and BBQing and a wild area for climbing to the tree house, gathering eggs from the chicken coop and harvesting vegetables from the garden. The entry opens into an inviting living room - you can see the expansive back yard through the wall of windows and sliding glass doors. Or you can sit in front of the brick fireplace with a book. The dining room is open to both the living room and the bright kitchen. A gas cooktop, double oven, lots of preparation space on the stone countertop and an ideal layout make meal preparation a joy. The master is separate from the other two bedrooms and has an adjoining bath with original tile and stall shower. The closet is outfitted with built-ins for efficient space utilization. The other two bedrooms and the second bath are neatly arranged off the entry. Gleaming hardwood floors grace all three bedrooms and the dining room. Ceiling fans assist the central AC to cool. The attached 2-car garage contains the washer, dryer and water heater, lots of storage. Delightful
