Just a short walk to westerly facing beaches will be rewarded with a brilliant sunset. Or, a quick peddle to the East Bay pike path. A full length farmer's porch affords an ideal spot to sit, relax and watch the world go by. An open floor plan allows one to flow from dining room, to living room, to a large family room. Truly the real gathering spot of the home, complete with a gas fireplace, custom cabinetry and direct access into a spacious and welcoming kitchen. High ceilings and wonderful detailed moldings are found throughout. Natural light pours in from a virtual wall of glass. White cabinets, granite countertops, Viking stove, and gleaming hardwoods complete this gorgeous kitchen. The master suite offers a respite from reality, with private seating area, complete with a fireplace, large walk in closet and great master bath with shower and soaking tub. Three additional large bedrooms, full bath and a convenient upper floor laundry room complete the second level. The third floor is a treasure creating the perfect spot for guests to get away yet stay, with a 5th bedroom, family room and a full bath. Or take the entire floor as a home office. Private stone patio to gather with friends during an evening fire pit complete with S'mores. A beautifully landscaped border with perennial gardens provides a backyard oasis. In addition, there is a fantastic finished basement with playroom, gym space and yes, a bedroom with full bath.
