8268 Martingale

Sometimes, all it takes is a little Faith to make your next move! In 1988, "Faith" was the #1 song of the year, and that same year, something special was taking shape on Martingale Drive. The original owner watched this home being built, never imagining the memories that would unfold over the next 38 years. Now, for the first time, an opportunity awaits someone new to become only its SECOND OWNER! ~~~ Welcome to a home where pride of ownership, thoughtful improvements, and room to enjoy the outdoors come together beautifully. The inviting kitchen was updated approximately six years ago with quartz countertops, soft-close cabinets and drawers, and Samsung appliances (6 years old). More recent improvements include beautifully renovated bathrooms (4 months ago), dual-pane windows (5 months ago), fresh interior paint (4 1/2 months ago), and a combination of vinyl and carpet flooring (carpet is not updated). Important upgrades include a newer air conditioning system (approximately 4 years old), water heater (approximately 2 years old), and water pressure regulator, providing added comfort and peace of mind. While many homes sell without the washer and dryer, this includes Samsung Washer (one years old) and Dryer (4 years old). ~~~ Situated on a generous, nearly half-acre lot, this property offers wonderful possibilities for outdoor living with views of hills, entertaining, gardening, and enjoying a little extra breathing room. A 40-foot storage container is negotiable to be included if desired, providing an additional storage opportunity. The property is also connected to public sewer. ~~~ And let's talk about LOCATION! Just five houses away from Stone Avenue Elementary School, the home enjoys a neighborhood setting with sidewalks that invite an afternoon stroll or evening walk. Convenient access to nearby freeways makes commuting easier, while major shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences are just a short drive away. Enjoy the accessibility without being directly alongside the freeway. ~~~ After nearly four decades of cherished ownership, this special property is ready for its next chapter. Perhaps all that's missing is a little Faith... and YOU to make it home! ~~~ See it! Love it! Buy it! ~~~ Added note: Roof about 20 years out of 30.
