About this home

Perched elegantly above the street, this move-in ready 1961 mid-century gem perfectly blends classic character with the best of modern living. Flooded with beautiful natural light, the home boasts a highly efficient 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom floor plan packed with premium upgrades including new, fully owned solar. Inside, you are greeted by striking Zodiac Walnut flooring, elegant plantation shutters, and a sleek, modern kitchen offering abundant storage space. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a dedicated indoor laundry area and opens onto a large backyard patio - an absolute dream for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. The expansive primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, opening directly to the serene, flat grassy backyard complete with a soothing, stunning fountain/koi pond. The reimagined and enlarged primary bath is a true standout, featuring a gorgeous, updated luxury shower. Two additional generously sized bedrooms feature large closets, sharing a beautifully updated second bathroom.In addition to the tranquil water feature, the backyard oasis is enclosed by a privacy fence and features a spacious, 7-person hot tub under a brand new pergola and a wood barrel sauna with room for four. The lush hillside is adorned with mature, drought-resistant plants and steps nestled in that lead up to a secluded observation deck, showing off great views of the city. The two car garage is spacious and, for those needing even more space, there is a fully enclosed bonus room that would make a great office or exercise room as well as an area with built-in wine racks, kept naturally cool by the surrounding bedrock. Additional enhancements/improvements include a roof that was fully redone less than two years ago with "cool roof" panels as well as electrical panel and plumbing upgrades and earthquake retrofitting within the last few years.
