Property Description

Nestled on one-third of an acre in the heart of Martinez, this beautifully updated home blends comfort, community, and the "it feels good to be home" vibe we all crave. Enjoy indoor-outdoor living with a newly resurfaced pool featuring updated filtration systems, including a new skimmer and vacuum. At the back of the lot, unwind on your private swing set and relive the joy of childhood with friends and family. The spacious yard includes two storage sheds, one wired with electricity, a pool shed, and a large bird enclosure that can easily be repurposed as a chicken coop for fresh, homegrown eggs. Inside, recent upgrades include fresh interior and exterior paint, new flooring and carpet, and updated windows and sliding glass doors that flood the space with natural light. A remodeled fireplace and mantle add a cozy focal point to the dining area. Whether relaxing poolside, enjoying your private retreat, or heading to historic downtown, this home offers a well-balanced lifestyle in a city by the delta with waterfront views, festivals, and a vibrant farmers market just minutes away. For a complete list of updates and renovations, ask for access to the disclosures!
