A charming brick walkway and welcoming front atrium courtyard introduce this timeless ranch-style home, custom-built in 1973 with beautiful redwood craftsmanship and inspired by the 1972 Designs for Convenient Living catalog. Situated on 1.18 acres, this distinctive property blends architectural character, comfortable living, and country charm, all just minutes from city amenities. Step inside to discover the warmth of vaulted redwood ceilings in the living room, complemented by an electric fireplace. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features a private primary bedroom wing with redwood ceiling, walk-in closet with cedar flooring, and ensuite bath, separate from the gathering spaces and additional bedrooms. Over the years, the kitchen has been updated and opened to create a more inviting and functional space. Featuring an electric cooktop, gas double oven, and generous prep areas for the home chef, the kitchen also offers windows capturing views of the front atrium and backyard pool and deck. During previous renovations, sheetrock was installed over portions of the original redwood ceilings, preserving the redwood beneath. A separate family gathering room with a gas-burning stove provides another comfortable space to relax and entertain. All bedrooms feature cedar-lined closet floors. Across the back of the home, dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows capture tranquil views of the swimming pool and surrounding grounds, connecting indoor and outdoor living. Brand-new decks, steps, and handrails offer inviting spaces to enjoy the setting, complemented by new, low-maintenance landscaping. A circular driveway welcomes you to this expansive property with exceptional parking, storage, and workshop opportunities. Detached improvements include a three-car garage, separate one-car workshop, and a working vehicle lift between the buildings. Generous space accommodates vehicles, recreational toys, hobbies, and RV parking. Adding to the country charm is an established hen house, with the sellers’ chickens accompanying them to their next home. Enjoy the tranquility, space, and versatility of country living with city conveniences just minutes away. A truly special property with timeless redwood character and room to make it your own.
