Architect-designed contemporary home w/abundant natural light, private spaces to gather and a level, sunny organic garden. Built in 1991, the entry level has 10' ceilings, spacious living room w/fireplace, custom cabinets, open staircase. The dining room connects to the kitchen up 3 steps or via a pass-through. The efficient kitchen has a modern aesthetic, white appliances, windows on 2 sides, and opens to the backyard. A half bath also on this level. Upstairs, 9' ceilings usher light into the primary bedroom suite, walk-in closet, split updated bath with built-in cabinets. Large 2nd bedroom (potential to split into a 3rd bedroom?), sep laundry closet, and 2nd full bath. Fabulous systems: solar power + battery backup, heat-pump hot water heater, 30-year roof (installed 2011), high-efficiency furnace. Architectural-quality dual-pane windows, mathematically placed, capture light and open vistas onto the East Bay hills and garden. Vertical growing space for herbs and drought-resistant plants in front and rock-bordered vegetable beds, fruit trees (orange, fig, persimmon, plum, and pineapple guava), patios, and native plants enhance the backyard. Conveniently located minutes from neighborhood parks, Chabot/Redwood parks, and the central freeway for access to points north and south.
