As you walk in, you are greeted with floor to ceiling windows in the living and dining areas that capture the essence of bringing the outdoors in, bathing the open floor plan in natural light. Fresh air vents are strategically located under the windows to allow natural air flow when wanted. The use of wood, natural cinder block, glass and clean lines showcases the mid-century design. The interior features sustainable cork and refurbished concrete floors throughout. The fully renovated kitchen boasts new quartz countertops, cabinets, sink and stainless steel appliances. A peninsula with seating offers a casual dining option and a perfect place for entertaining friends and family. Just steps outside the kitchen and across the breezeway from the carport, there is a large detached office/studio space with dedicated heat and air conditioning that is perfect for working from home. The hall bath has been remodeled with a floating vanity and spacious walk-in shower, keeping with the mid-century aesthetic and the functionality of modern living. The large primary bedroom features a renovated en-suite bath with a shower over tub. Private yard access provides a relaxing retreat at the end of the day. The home itself was designed using solar orientation with windows on the south wall for winter heating, and large overhangs to keep the sun out in summer.
As you step outside, the expansive park-like backyard beckons you with its lush green lawn and a majestic oak tree at its center creating a tranquil oasis for relaxation and outdoor entertainment. Enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine on one of the 3 patio areas. The possibilities for this yard are truly endless. Dreaming of a pool? Wanting to play with your kids on a sports court? Need an ADU? Urban farm? There is plenty of space to create the backyard of your dreams.
This home is just minutes away from shopping, restaurants, coffee, and schools. After you get your groceries at Lunardi’s Market at the Palos Verdes Mall, grab a one of the best burgers around at Mona’s Burgers and Shakes later that night head to Wence’s for dinner. The beautiful Briones Regional Park is nearby for the those who love hiking and biking. Downtown Pleasant Hill is just 2.5 miles down the street with more restaurants, shops and a movie theater. There is also easy access to highway 680 and 24 which makes this location so desirable.
