Motivated seller slashes price! Gregory Gardens home on large level lot exudes charm! It has been owned and loved by the same family for over 50 years. Newer flooring, freshly painted interior and exterior, updated bathroom and Anderson French doors to the spacious backyard are some of its newer features. Roof: very new. Vintage mid-century kitchen with Youngstown cabinets. Attached 2-car garage. Another great feature? The backyard with stunning Oak trees, no rear neighbors and a back patio to enjoy outdoor dining and relaxing with plenty of room to play, garden, create your own Shangri-La or to simply enjoy the privacy and quiet. This location offers convenience of walking to Gregory Gardens Elementary School, College Park High, Diablo Valley Jr College, the nearby Rec Center. Easy access to Highways 680, 4 and 24, near BART. Major shopping mall nearby and short distance to Pleasant Hill's vibrant downtown. Canal trail for bikes and walks nearby too.

Homes for sale
This home's estimate is 3.1% higher than the average sale price ($861K) of 6 comparable homes.
Much of the home appears original including in the kitchen and windows throughout. There is good natural light. The backyard is spacious and has no immediate backyard neighbor behind the home. Could use some landscaping.
