About this House

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!

    "Lots of people walk their dogs in neighborhoods. A handful of nice dog parks. Handful of open spaces with specific areas you can let your dog off leash. Unfortunately not everyone respects this rule so I’ve seen awful situations where some dogs are on leash and some are not. The dogs on leash are threatened because they’re leashed and bad situations arise. Also, many people don’t clean up after their dogs. Disrespectful and entitled people exist. This area is not immune to that. "
