650 Marlesta Rd

This lovely three bedroom, 2 bath home in tranquil Tara Hills has a true mid-century modern style, with its single level layout giving access and views to its unique and private oversized lot.The entire home has a wonderful indoor-outdoor feel, and has been beautifully refreshed and updated for its next owners. Entering the home, you come into a large living room with gleaming oak floors, built-in cabinetry, a brick fireplace and windows which overlook the special yard.The three bedrooms are generously sized, each with cedar lined closets and the second bath has been thoughtfully remodeled. In the primary bedroom, you are greeted with the same view to the backyard overlooking the lawn and a redwood grove. You will also find double closets and and an attached bath with original 1960's tile in a step down shower that showcases the home's vintage charm. In the back of the home, a spacious bonus room was added by the owner's father and was the setting for years of game nights, gatherings and family parties.This flexible space works perfectly as a room for TV, guests, recreation or could make a great work from home setup.The classic freestanding mid-century fireplace in the corner gives the room warmth and character, and the wall of windows and sliding glass doors 'open' the room to the outdoors. The property also checks a lot of practical boxes: a new roof with warranty, excellent reports and systems, a two car garage with interior access and laundry, plus two storage sheds in the yard give you an extra amount of storage and workspace. The kitchen and dining rooms retain their original finishes and are ready for the next owner's vision. The real story of the house, however, is the backyard. Stepping outside feels calm and private. A wraparound low profile deck connects the home to multiple pathways, seating and dining areas, making the yard feel like an extension of the living space. As you wander further back, you come across two bridges that lead to an upper portion of the lot. And tucked behind that is a redwood grove planted by the current owners, with trees nearly as old as the home itself! Located just near Shannon elementary school and local parks, 650 Marlesta is in a desirable location offering easy access to Pinole shops and transit.
