Single Family Residence in Pleasant Hill

SELDOM FOUND, EXTRAORDINARY .57 acre LOT + Gorgeous welcoming vibe! After decades of happy memories for one family, and a great deal of careful renovation and love, this split-level, ranch-style home on a sprawling lot of more than 1/2 acre is ready for its next chapter! The layout is a 10+, thoughtfully designed around the stunning main level. A light-filled living room overlooks the backyard, flows into the dining room and the neighboring kitchen with its casual dining nook. This main living space embraces you with warmth upon entering: truly a delightful place to come home to. Downstairs, a cozy den offers a wood-burning fireplace, wet bar, and direct backyard access, making it a perfect personal retreat, library or playroom. Brand-new hardwood floors have just been installed throughout the main living areas + stairs, and stunning high-end lighting brightens every room. In the kitchen, new Italian tile flooring sets a warm tone; the space is cozy and functional, with brand-new stainless appliances, a sink overlooking the front yard + charming breakfast nook. A built-in breakfast bar gives you one more spot to dine, or to sit and chat with whoever is cooking. The primary suite is a true retreat, with an ensuite bath featuring dual sinks, soaking tub, and separate shower. Plantation shutters + dual-paned windows throughout offer privacy and energy efficiency. A dedicated laundry room + half bath just off the den make daily chores easy. Outside in the backyard is where the California dream really comes to life: a truly special, sprawling space is more than twice the size of most lots in the area. A gorgeous deck + trellis off the back of the home is just the ticket for Holiday dining this year. Send your family to go play football in this yard while you prepare the turkey, and they’re out of your hair: wa-la! Multiple flat areas back here offer for it all: play, plant, dream...build an ADU, dig a pool, throw in an outdoor kitchen, or just enjoy the plentiful garden & lawn already in place. The front has been re-imagined with new trees & plants; a calming front porch invites you to come and watch the sunset at the end of the day. The location offers the proximity we all want, yet is private + tucked away: a couple of blocks to Kinder’s shopping center with its many wonderful restaurants, and 1 block to the Canal Trail, which winds its way to Pleasanton and Moraga! Commuting? Great! Highway 24 + Lafayette BART are a quick 4.1-mile jaunt up Taylor.
