About This Home

Tucked away at the back of a private cul de sac and zoned for top rated Stonebrae Elementary, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home perfectly blends modern luxury with everyday comfort. Located in an established, tight-knit, and welcoming neighborhood community, the home offers an ideal location just moments from Cal State East Bay and with fantastic outdoor options, featuring a neighborhood park with a playground and large grass area great for picnics just around the corner and another just up the hill. As you enter, you are welcomed by a light filled living room with soaring vaulted ceilings and a spacious balcony. The beautifully appointed kitchen features premium quartz countertops, classic tile backsplash, a charming box-bay window, and high end appliances (all under 3 years old, including a sleek French-door refrigerator). Whether hosting in the formal dining room or enjoying a casual meal in the breakfast nook, this home is built for entertaining. The primary bedroom suite serves as your personal sanctuary and boasts a walk-in closet and balcony accessed via sliding glass doors, and a completely remodeled, spa-like bathroom featuring exquisite custom tile work, a built-in shower seat, a stone-base pan, a striking waterfall tile pattern, and a luxurious rain shower head. The second generously sized bedroom includes custom built-in closet shelving, while the third features a beautiful built-in bookcase, perfect for a home office, den, or nursery. Downstairs, the lower level offers a fabulous, self-contained retreat. It features a spacious family room anchored by a cozy gas-burning fireplace and a convenient wet bar. Just off the family room, the private fourth bedroom and an updated full bathroom create an ideal multi-generational layout, guest suite, or private home office. Every bathroom in the home has been thoughtfully refreshed with updated vanities, modern flooring, and stylish fixtures, and the home also has a 4 year old A/C and furnace. Outside, enjoy a low-maintenance front yard, a mature lemon tree, and multiple patio areas, ideal for al fresco dining or a morning coffee.
