Backing directly to protected open space with direct trail access from the property, the setting feels peaceful and removed while remaining close to Hamilton’s parks, Bay Trail paths, shopping, dining, and commuter options.

The connection to the outdoors is felt throughout the property, with mature landscaping, open sky views, and a staircase pathway leading directly from the side yard into the trails and open space beyond. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a large walk-in closet and soaking tub, while upper-level rooms capture views toward the San Francisco Bay Trail. The home has been extensively improved with a focus on comfort, efficiency, and long-term sustainability, including owned solar with Tesla battery backup, upgraded HVAC systems, EV charging infrastructure, updated insulation, and energy-conscious improvements throughout. Additional features include an upstairs laundry room, two-car garage with installed workspace storage systems, outdoor storage shed, and an extra-long driveway with parking for multiple vehicles.
