If you're into gorgeous sunrises, expansive bay views, and big sky, this charming home is the answer to your prayers. High atop the crest of Visitacion Valley, behind a white picket fence stands this just-renovated 620 sf* cottage that could be a perfect starter home or perhaps a sensible down-size solution. You'll love the many features: a sizeable bedroom and renovated bath, the laundry area with skylight and stack washer/dryer, an office nook, a hide-away loft space for meditation or just to relax from the chaos of the day. Wait until you walk out onto the enormous (recently completed) deck overlooking the Valley, the Bay, Mt. Diablo, the Oakland Hills. The perfect place for dining, dreaming, or being still with the world as it wakes at sunrise. Beyond the deck, the accessible yard with a variety of fruit trees; fantastic for your green thumb. Recently completed, permitted retaining walls encase the sloping hill. To finish your checklist; a huge storage room below decks for a workbench or sports equipment. Additional features include the gas wall heater, new light fixtures, new flooring, a generous kitchen with a gas range, ample counter space, plenty of cabinets, and a pantry. Ample street parking. Nearby, the District of Portola shops and stores await you.
