About this House

Super sunny location in Samarkand with beautiful mountain vistas!  Built in 1934, and beautifully maintained over the years. the 1991 remodel featured a full master bedroom suite addition upstairs:  high ceilings, skylight, sitting area/office, jet tub in master bath, and walk-in closet.   French doors lead to the Saltillo tiled patio with BIG views!  The recently completed 2012 update includes an updated bath downstairs and an almost  all new kitchen using authentically "Green" materials:   Viola Park cabinets, Pressed-stainless steel backsplash, Paperstone counter top, new stainless hood, and easy-care Marmoleum flooring.      A nicely-designed low maintenance yard wraps around the house, and features mature plants and a wood deck with Wisteria-covered trellis.  The over-sized one-car garage (18 X 16) creates good storage and workshop potential!  All this and just minutes from Trader Joe's, Gelson's, golf, lawn bowling and the De la Vina/upper State Street corridor.

My son has been going to Adams for 5 years now. We have had the best experience at this school. Mrs. Fresch is a great principal and we have had phenomenal teachers throughout the years. I stay involved with the school. PTA volunteers are hardworking individuals and make the students experience even better.
