This Joseph Eichler-designed house (Mid-Century modern style) sits on a hill and has a slightly-sloped front yard landscaped with grass, trees, shrubs and rocks. Enter from the large driveway & carport into a secure, private courtyard with two...
sliding glass "front doors" into the home. The large chef's kitchen with premium stainless-steel appliances also includes a second counter with prep sink / wet bar, breakfast bar, in-counter compost & recycling receptacles and a door that opens the back deck. The adjacent entertainment / family room also has a sliding glass door to the back deck. The open living room / dining area would accommodate a table for 8-10 people, has a modern concrete fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows and a sliding glass door to the back yard. The master bedroom includes a sliding glass door to the back yard, built-in cabinets & shelves, two closets and en suite bathroom with a full-size shower (no tub), one sink and a skylight. The second bathroom has a shower/tub combination, two sinks, a window and a door to the side yard. There are multiple skylights and floor-to-ceiling closets in the hallway for extra storage. The bedrooms are bit on the small side. The large "U-shaped" backyard is perfect for entertaining with its deck, concrete patio, level grass, hot tub and Jenn-Air BBQ + sink & counter space. There are two storage sheds + a gently-sloped area behind a small retaining wall for additional landscaping. The garage has been converted to a bonus room (with a climbing wall!) + storage. The adjacent laundry room, connecting to the entertainment / family room, has an Electrolux side-by-side washer dryer, counter space, in-wall ironing board and a beverage center. This property has convenient access to Highway 280 (to San Francisco and San Jose / Silicon Valley) and Highway 92 (to ocean beaches and the East Bay). Highlands Elementary School is a half-mile away and Crystal Springs Village (Safeway, CVS Pharmacy, Starbucks, Wells Fargo and more) is approximately one mile away.
