This rarely available single-story home blossoms on a flat half-acre premium botanical lot along a coveted cul-de-sac in the desirable Tice Valley neighborhood. From the moment you arrive, you understand how this home was featured on a garden-tour! The wildly contrived landscape is the very definition of curb appeal, with a backyard equally as impressive as the front. Moreover, this beautifully updated 3BD/2BA (plus office!) home offers an excellent opportunity for more bedrooms and an ADU. From the interior to exterior, the home has been thoughtfully elevated with a refreshed kitchen and bathrooms, new on-trend fixtures, lighting and hardware, new appliances, a Wolf range and newer dual-pane windows to capture the outdoor splendor. Exteriorly, enjoy the paver driveway, drip irrigation, newer fencing, newer HVAC system & attic insulation, new-epoxy covered garage floor, new sewer-lateral, drainage upgrade, the ever efficient EV charger, and, hang on to your hat here....the expanded solar panels delivering near net-zero electricity! Relish in the easy walk to the Safeway-anchored Shopping Center, Starbucks, restaurants, the Tice Valley Park & trails, while taking advantage of the highly rated schools and very accessible commute routes. This home is where the heart is!
