About This Home

What You Will Love About 1645 Capistrano You will love the location. One block from Solano Avenue means your morning coffee, your groceries, your favorite restaurant, and a good bookstore are all, quite literally, at your doorstep.  You will love how it welcomes you. The lush grounds create a sense of privacy from the street, and there are just a few easy steps to bring you home. Inside, the living room's large window frames the greenery outside and brings the light in. You will love having a bedroom on the main level, paired with a super cool, colorful and updated full bathroom. Most of all, you will fall in love with the kitchen — the heart and soul of this house. There's an eating nook made for half-finished puzzles, the morning paper, and supervising homework with a cup of tea in hand. The kitchen itself is designed for people who actually cook, with high end appliances and a fantastic island - and layout. And when you open the French doors, the outdoors become part of the room.That may be what you end up loving the most. You will love the thoughtful storage and the quality of the finishes. Tons of cabinets and cupboards and many bookshelves woven throughout the house, designed by sellers who filled them up with wonderful books. Upstairs, you will love the two bright bedrooms that share an updated bathroom. Bright and airy, the primary opens to a deck overlooking the yard. And then, the backyard. So beautiful Gather herbs from the garden for tonight's dinner. Sit on the deck. Pick fruit straight from the trees. Play, garden, hang out on the deck. You will also love the detached refugio — the owners' name for the charming structure that could become an ADU, if you'd like it to be. Perhaps a spacious home office, a family room… your choice. And let’s not forget the workshop, too, for whatever you've been meaning to build. Energy Score is four. Above all, you will love knowing this house has been beautifully remodeled and maintained — and, more than that, genuinely loved. Now it's your turn.
