Fresh, polished, and packed with character, 966 Morello Ave brings together the updates buyers want with the space and personality that are increasingly hard to find. This single-story 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,833 sq ft and has been thoughtfully refreshed inside and out with new interior and exterior paint, new LVP flooring, updated bathrooms, newer stainless steel appliances, and updated fixtures throughout. Step inside to an open, light-filled layout anchored by vaulted ceilings and a striking double-sided brick fireplace that gives the living spaces instant character. Large windows bring in abundant natural light, while the kitchen features white cabinetry, generous counter space, recessed lighting, and stainless steel appliances, opening naturally to the surrounding living and dining areas. Both bathrooms have been updated with a clean, modern feel, while four bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, a home office, or whatever comes next. An attached two-car garage and interior laundry add everyday convenience. Then there's the backyard. Far from a basic patch of lawn, this expansive terraced setting offers multiple levels of usable outdoor space, established landscaping, mature fruit trees, dedicated areas for gardening, patios for entertaining and relaxing, and even a private basketball court. Whether you envision raised garden beds overflowing with vegetables, weekend gatherings, play space, or your own backyard retreat, there's room here to make it happen. Set in an established Martinez neighborhood with convenient access to parks, shopping, dining, commuter routes, historic downtown Martinez, and the waterfront, 966 Morello delivers updated single-level living with a backyard that's anything but ordinary.
